CXF WADL generation

Problem1: There is no grammar information generated in wadl

Cause:

org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.model.wadl.WadlGeneratorrelies on org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.ResourceUtils

to create a JAXBContext, without a JAXBContext, no grammar section will be generated

JAXB is not printing stack trace for any problem

LOG.fine("No JAXB context can becreated");

 

 

Error  pattern	Cause	Example	Solution
Two classes have the same XML type name  "xxx". Use @XmlType.name and @XmlType.namespace to assign different  names to them.	Two properties are with the same class  name, but the classes are of different type	In class CustomerContactsRequest @XmlElement(name = "name") private ContactName name; The ContactName is an inner static class  of CustomerContactsRequest   In class CustomerContactsV2Request @XmlElement(name = "name") private ContactName name; The ContactName is an inner static class  of CustomerContactsV2Request	Use @XmlType.name and @XmlType.namespace  to differentiate the 2 inner classes
Xxx is a non-static inner class, and JAXB  can't handle those.	Use an inner class that is non-static	In class  UpdateCustomerPaymentInstrumentDetails There is an inner class public class UpdateCreditCardDetails  that is non-static	Make the class a static inner class

 

 

Problem2: Generated grammar is not associated with resource method's request andresponse  

Cause:

We need a namespace, without namespace, it cannot associate request response with xsd types declared in the grammar section

See org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.model.wadl.WadlGenerator.generateQName

 

There are two ways of declare a namespace:

XmlRootElement(namespace=xxx)   at class level

XmlSchema  (namespace=xxx) at packagelevel
