Question

I have a binding file like this

<jxb:bindings version="2.0" xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <jxb:bindings schemaLocation="example.xsd" node="/xs:schema">
    <jxb:schemaBindings>
        <jxb:package name="example" />
    </jxb:schemaBindings>
    <jxb:globalBindings>
        <jxb:javaType name="java.util.Calendar" xmlType="xs:dateTime"
            parseMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseDateTime"
            printMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printDateTime" />
        <jxb:javaType name="java.util.Calendar" xmlType="xs:date"
            parseMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseDate"
            printMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printDate" />
        <jxb:javaType name="java.util.Calendar" xmlType="xs:time"
            parseMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseTime"
            printMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printTime" />
    </jxb:globalBindings>

  </jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>

The schema class are generated in “example” (correct), but the XmlAdapters in “org.w3._2001.xmlschema” (wrong). How can I fix this?

Answer 1

I had this problem as well, solved it using this.

The basic premise is that you include a schema in your XJC compilation with following contents:

<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  targetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
  jaxb:version="2.0">
  <annotation><appinfo>
    <jaxb:schemaBindings>
      <jaxb:package name="org.acme.foo"/>
    </jaxb:schemaBindings>
  </appinfo></annotation>
</schema>

You then adjust the package name to where you want the generated adapters to be placed. XJC will believe that this schema is part of the schema set for W3C XML Schema itself and will honour the bindings in it.
