How do I get CXF to generate external XSD for the WSDL?

Question

I'm using CXF with the @WebService annotation. It generates the WSDL file as one big file, is there a way I can tell it to generate the wsdl:types externally in an XSD file and import them into the WSDL?

Answer 1

1) Your best option is use CXF's JavaToWS , just provide your implementation class and domain objects with "-createxsdimports" option, it will create separate WSDL and XSD files for you,

see below example from my website

2) You can use SOPERA suite http://www.sopera.de/en/downloads/sopera-asf-331 and it converts into separate WSDL and XSD
