WSDL cxf custom bindings - cxf-codegen-plugin

Question

I am trying to change the class names of cxf generated source from an inline WSDL. The bindings I specify using xpath keeps getting ignored.
Below is my binding file:
<jaxws:bindings
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws"
xmlns:jaxws="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/Small/"
version="1.0">
<jaxb:bindings node="//xsd:element[#name='NewOperationRequest']">
<jaxb:class name="xyz"/>
</jaxb:bindings>
</jaxws:bindings>
Below is my wsdl file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<wsdl:definitions xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:tns="http://www.example.org/Small/" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" name="Small" targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/Small/">
<wsdl:types>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/Small/">
<xsd:element name="NewOperationX">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="in" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="NewOperationResponse">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="out" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
</wsdl:types>
<wsdl:message name="NewOperationRequest">
<wsdl:part element="tns:NewOperationX" name="parameters"/>
</wsdl:message>
<wsdl:message name="NewOperationResponse">
<wsdl:part element="tns:NewOperationResponse" name="parameters"/>
</wsdl:message>
<wsdl:portType name="Small">
<wsdl:operation name="NewOperation">
<wsdl:input message="tns:NewOperationRequest"/>
<wsdl:output message="tns:NewOperationResponse"/>
</wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:portType>
<wsdl:binding name="SmallSOAP" type="tns:Small">
<soap:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
<wsdl:operation name="NewOperation">
<soap:operation soapAction="http://www.example.org/Small/NewOperation"/>
<wsdl:input>
<soap:body use="literal"/>
</wsdl:input>
<wsdl:output>
<soap:body use="literal"/>
</wsdl:output>
</wsdl:operation>
</wsdl:binding>
<wsdl:service name="Small">
<wsdl:port binding="tns:SmallSOAP" name="SmallSOAP">
<soap:address location="http://www.example.org/"/>
</wsdl:port>
</wsdl:service>
</wsdl:definitions>
And below is my cxf pom plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-codegen-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<configuration>
<sourceRoot>
target/generated-sources
</sourceRoot>
<wsdlOptions>
<wsdlOption>
<wsdl>${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/wsdl/small.wsdl</wsdl>
<bindingFiles>
<bindingFile>${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/wsdl/small.xjb</bindingFile>
</bindingFiles>
</wsdlOption>
</wsdlOptions>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>wsdl2java</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
I wasn't able to find an example of custom bindings for inline WSDLs using CXF. Any help is appreciated. Thanks,

I think you have a namespace issue here. Your inner binding needs to be a jaxws binding rather than a jaxb binding.
Try the following as your innermost binding instead of your <jaxb:bindings> element (I've also modified your xpath):
<jaxws:bindings node="wsdl:definitions/wsdl:message[#name='NewOperationRequest']">
<class name="xyz"/>
</jaxws:bindings>
There's a similar example that renames a porttype on the Apache CXF site under the JAXWS Customization section.
For more options, here's a link on GitHub to a JAX-WS sample binding file demonstrating various parts of the wsdl you can customize.
