I'm generating Java from WSDL using wsimport (JAX-WS 2.1.3) and need to make it generate a @HandlerChain annotation. So I create a JAX-WS binding file: ``` StrongmailHandlers OrganizationTokenHandler com.bossmedia.strongmailadapter.deliveryadapter.OrganizationTokenHandler ``` and run the wsimport Ant task: ``` <wsimport wsdl="../etc/MessageStudio.wsdl" sourcedestdir="../src/gen" destdir="../classes" verbose="false" bindin…

The answer is that the RI example is incorrect. There needs to be a handler-chains wrapper tag: ``` StrongmailHandlers OrganizationTokenHandler com.bossmedia.strongmailadapter.deliveryadapter.OrganizationTokenHandler ```

How to generate @HandlerChain using wsimport

handlers, java, jax-ws, wsimport

Solution

The answer is that the RI example is incorrect. There needs to be a handler-chains wrapper tag:

<jaxws:bindings
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
xmlns:jaxws="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws"
xmlns:javaee="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
wsdlLocation="../etc/MessageStudio.wsdl">

<jaxws:bindings node="wsdl:definitions">
    <javaee:handler-chains>
        <javaee:handler-chain>
            <javaee:handler-chain-name>StrongmailHandlers</javaee:handler-chain-name>               
            <javaee:handler>
                <javaee:handler-name>OrganizationTokenHandler</javaee:handler-name>         
                <javaee:handler-class>com.bossmedia.strongmailadapter.deliveryadapter.OrganizationTokenHandler</javaee:handler-class>           
            </javaee:handler>                     
        </javaee:handler-chain>
    </javaee:handler-chains>
</jaxws:bindings>

Problem

I'm generating Java from WSDL using wsimport (JAX-WS 2.1.3) and need to make it generate a @HandlerChain annotation. So I create a JAX-WS binding file: ``` <jaxws:bindings xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:jaxws="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws" xmlns:javaee="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" wsdlLocation="../etc/MessageStudio.wsdl"> <jaxws:bindings node="wsdl:definitions"> <javaee:handler-chain> <javaee:handler-chain-name>StrongmailHandlers</javaee:handler-chain-name> <javaee:handler> <javaee:handler-name>OrganizationTokenHandler</javaee:handler-name> <javaee:handler-class>com.bossmedia.strongmailadapter.deliveryadapter.OrganizationTokenHandler</javaee:handler-class> </javaee:handler> </javaee:handler-chain> </jaxws:bindings> ``` and run the wsimport Ant task: ``` <wsimport wsdl="../etc/MessageStudio.wsdl" sourcedestdir="../src/gen" destdir="../classes" verbose="false" binding="../etc/jaxws.bindings.xml"> </wsimport> ``` but I get no annotation and no handler chain XML file. Googling only finds me solutions for changing packages, methods and arguments and the JAX-WS RI page from where I copied the XML. Could you help me find the flaw in my configuration or another way, short of modifying the generated code, to get my handler into the chain?
