Question

I am migrating my webservice publishing API from AXIS2 to CXF. CXF autogenerated WSDL is not similar to Axis2 WSDL. There are given below differences. As client sits somewhere else I am not able to test if these differences will affect Axis2 generated clients. How can remove these WSDL differences using CXF?

CXF WSDL

<xs:element name="test" type="tns:test"/> 
<xs:element name="testResponse" type="tns:testResponse"/> 
    <xs:complexType name="test"> 
        <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="doc" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/> </xs:sequence> 
    </xs:complexType> 
    <xs:complexType name="testResponse"> 
        <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="return" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/> </xs:sequence> 
</xs:complexType>

<wsdl:portType name="TESTService">

Axis2 WSDL

<xsd:element name="test" nillable="true" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="testResponse" nillable="true" type="xsd:string" />
<wsdl:portType name="TEST">

To get rif of xs:elemntName difference, remove ‘@WebParams’ from web service input as it is accepting just a String not any complex object.

To remove wsdl:portType name difference, just added ‘@WebService(name) attribute. ‘@WebService’ should be as per the specification order else cxf won’t consider them in WSDL.
