How to generate element in xsd file as jaxb classes

Question

I need help to figure out how to generate type as class.

This is the xsd file I have.

<xsd:element name="GetPatient" type="c:GetPatientType" />
<xsd:complexType name="GetPatientType">
   <xsd:sequence>
   <xsd:element name="fieldA" type="xsd:string" />
   <xsd:element name="fieldB" type="xsd:string" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

However, the result is - I got GetPatientType with the fields, but there is no GetPatient class. My goal is to generate GetPatient with all the three fields as its field. So, GetPatient with field A and field B. Is that possible?

Thanks all for your help!

how do you generate your classes? jaxb2-maven-plugin or other solution — Xstian, Dec 21 '14 at 20:22

See this question:

wrapper class missing when using xjc on xsd

You don't get a class for GetPatient because JAXB handles it via the JAXBElement<GetPatientType> construct.

You can, however, customize GetPatient to generate a class via the <jaxb:class name="GetPatient"/> customization. But still, that class will not have the fields, it will be just a wrapper class.
