JBoss AS 7 wsconsume: Failed to compile generated code - @XmlElementRef - required

Question

I'm trying JBoss AS 7 wsconsume.sh, but I get compilation error on generated sources. What's wrong?

The WSDL file comes from https://isir.justice.cz:8443/isir_ws/services/IsirPub001?wsdl and it has few formal errors.

$ ./wsconsume.sh -p cz.pohlidame.clientJBoss -o fooOut -s fooSrc -t 2.2 -e ~/proj/pohlidame.cz/wsdl-consumer/IsirPub001.wsdl 
Could not find log4j.xml configuration, logging to console.

Answer 1

The required property was added to @XmlElementRef in JAXB 2.2.

See "Since 2.2" under "required" element here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlElementRef.html#required().

It looks like you have generated a JAXB 2.2 model and are attempting to use it in a runtime with JAXB 2.1 APIs.

Note: Java SE 6 contains JAXB 2.0/2.1 and Java SE 7 contains JAXB 2.2.
