Pointing to the WSDL inside of project

Question

When we generate a stub using WSDL that will have this line below in class.

@WebServiceClient(name = "testService", targetNamespace = "http://test.soap.coh.mycompany.com/", wsdlLocation = "file:/C:/Users/sam/Documents/NetBeansProjects/test/trunk/test-service-co/target/wsdl/co/test/wsdl/testService.wsdl")
This is good when you are deploying the ear in local means same place where you have the source code.
But when we try to develop this ear pacakge created from my desktop in dev server its is giving exception, as the path is not avilabel.

Now my question id how to generate the stub where we do not have the above mentioned issue. Please note we are using maven to generate the stubs.

Generate stubs dynamically at deploy time

Do not include stub implementation classes in your generic build
Make sure Webservice is up and running for respective environment
At deploy time, execute a script that will generate stubs based off WSDL that is published for respective environment

If you are using CXF/Jaxws you can do it like this

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
  <artifactId>cxf-codegen-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>${cxf.version}</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>generate-sources</id>
      <phase>generate-sources</phase>
      <configuration> 
        <sourceRoot>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/cxf</sourceRoot>
        <wsdlOptions>
          <wsdlOption>
            <wsdl>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/wsdl/FooService.wsdl</wsdl>
            <wsdlLocation>classpath:wsdl/FooService.wsdl</wsdlLocation>
          </wsdlOption>
        </wsdlOptions>
      </configuration>
      <goals>
        <goal>wsdl2java</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

Instead of classpath location you can also give just FooService.wsdl

If you are using jaxws-maven-plugin to configure, then I belive above options can be configured for JAXWS WsImport compiler from Maven2 in it's jaxws:wsimport configuration section. I have not tried this myself though.

Thanks for the reply, actually we are using jaxws-maven-plugin, do you have any help on this — user2457122, Jun 06 '13 at 11:44
Edited above answer to extend it for jaxws-maven-plugin info at the end — Gladwin Burboz, Jun 07 '13 at 19:52
