Generating and customizing equals/hashcode methods with CXF/JAXB2
cxf, java, jaxb, maven-jaxb2-plugin
Solution
I've found a solution as it is explained here: http://confluence.highsource.org/display/J2B/JAXB2+Basics+Plugins.
You can add custom bindings to indicate to JAXB2 plugins to ignore a certain property.
Problem
I have two classes `A` and `B` generated by `cxf-codegen-plugin` from my WSDL. `A` inherits from `B`. I would like to add common methods like `hashCode()`, `equals()`... So, I have the following configuration in my POM: ``` <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId> <artifactId>cxf-codegen-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.6.0</version> <executions> <execution> <id>generate-sources</id> <phase>generate-sources</phase> <configuration> <wsdlOptions> <wsdlOption> <wsdl>${basedir}/wsdl/PeeringApi.wsdl</wsdl> <extraargs> <extraarg>-xjc-XhashCode</extraarg> <extraarg>-xjc-Xequals</extraarg> <extraarg>-xjc-Xsetters</extraarg> </extraargs> </wsdlOption> </wsdlOptions> </configuration> <goals> <goal>wsdl2java</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons</groupId> <artifactId>jaxb2-basics</artifactId> <version>${jaxb2.version}</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin> ``` I have two questions: - Is there a way to generate an `equals()` method that doesn't compare properties of `B` (i.e. not calling `super.equals()`)? - How to indicate to the plugin to generate an `equals()` method that compare only certain properties of `A` (by default, it seems that all the properties are compared) that I specify? Thanks
