Generate *PortProxy.java with wsimport

Question

i am trying to generate the JAXWS client with Maven. For this i use the "org.jvnet.jax-ws-commons:jaxws-maven-plugin". The plugin generates all necessary files but not the *PortProxy.java.

I've tried to generate the client with the command line version of wsimport. I've used different versions of wsimport from JDK1.7.0_55 (x64), JDK1.7.0_65 (x86) and from IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 8.

The only working way to generate the *PortProxy.java file is using the Eclipse wizard. (Right click on the WSDL --> Generate --> Client --> Set the client project --> Finish.). What are the differences between the wizard and the CLI?

Thanks for your help.

I think you are looking for the wrong generated client class.

It should be something like *Service.java .

If you can't find a class like that, look for a class with something similar to this in:

static {
    URL url = null;
    WebServiceException e = null;
    try {
        url = new URL("http://localhost:8080/ws/countries.wsdl");
    } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
        e = new WebServiceException(ex);
    }
    WORKFLOWAPIPORTSERVICE_WSDL_LOCATION = url;
    WORKFLOWAPIPORTSERVICE_EXCEPTION = e;
}

Plugin :
