Jaxb doesn't preserve case of namespace in package - java

I'm using the codehaus jaxb2-maven-plugin, v1.5 to compile XSDs into POJOs, but the generated package name coerces the package name to lower case (so, if I have my target namespace as http://example.com/sampleNamespace, then the generated package is com.example.samplenamespace).
I've googled around a bit and found mostly people having problems with underscores getting munged to dots, and the solution for that, but I can't seem to find something specific for preserving the case of the namespace.
NB: I don't want to have to repeat myself and override the generated package name, so the generatePackage option in the maven config isn't for me.
Before finding about the underscore munging, I had tried that, and also a regular space - both stick a dot in there.
Any ideas?
Schema:
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:t="http://example.com/sampleNamespace" targetNamespace="http://example.com/sampleNamespace"
jaxb:version="2.0">
<complexType name="MyFirstClass">
<sequence>
<element name="MyFirstElement" type="string" />
</sequence>
</complexType>
</schema>
Maven config:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>xjc</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

You will need to leverage a JAXB bindings file to specify a package name if you do not want to use the one that JAXB generates based on common Java coding conversions.
<bindings
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
version="2.1">
<bindings schemaLocation="schema.xsd">
<schemaBindings>
<package name="com.example.sampleNamespace"/>
</schemaBindings>
</bindings>
</bindings>

jaxb2-maven-plugin generating package-info.java with xmlns prefixes

I want to generate java classes with the jaxb2-maven-plugin. I am using the following configuration:
pom.xml:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>

<sources>
<source>src/main/xsd/schema.xsd</source>
</sources>
<noGeneratedHeaderComments>true</noGeneratedHeaderComments>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
schema.xsd:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://my.target.namespace/uri"
xmlns="http://my.target.namespace/uri"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:h="http://my.uri.for.prefix.h"
xmlns:f="http://my.target.namespace/uri">
<xsd:import namespace="http://my.uri.for.prefix.h" schemaLocation="schema2.xsd"/>
<xsd:complexType name="FooType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element ref="h:something" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:element name="FooType" type="FooType" />
</xsd:schema>
The Jaxb2 plugin is generating me the following package-info.java:
#javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema(namespace = "http://my.target.namespace/uri", elementFormDefault = javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED)
package ...;
But, what I want to get is this:
#javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema(namespace = "http://my.target.namespace/uri", xmlns = {
#XmlNs(prefix="f", namespaceURI="http://my.target.namespace/uri"),
#XmlNs(prefix="h", namespaceURI="http://my.uri.for.prefix.h")
}, elementFormDefault = javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED)
package ...;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs;
The prefixes are missing in my generated file. How to do that? I tried already to create a binding file but this didn't worked how I expected.
Please see this answer on how to solve this problem:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/10812236/1389219
The answer is very well written and easy to follow. Basically you will have to:
Drop jaxb2-maven-plugin in favour of maven-jaxb2-plugin.
Include the jaxb2-namespace-prefix dependency and provide the <arg>-Xnamespace-prefix</arg>.
Write a new bindings.xml file which is only a few lines long.
Your POM file will become more verbose, but it is worth it to have a package-info.java generated the way you require.
As a bonus, there are a heap of additional plugins and dependencies related to maven-jaxb2-plugin that provide extra features. One that I found helpful was jaxb2-rich-contract-plugin that gave the ability to generate builders and make the generated classes immutable*.
* Well, not strictly speaking immutable (as it just changes the setter methods to be package private), but enough to make them feel safer.

Getting a list of JAXBElement where I want a list of predefined java objects

I use Apache Camel + JAXB for Soap processing. The java glasses are generated by a maven plugin called cxf-codegen-plugin.
The Problem I am facing is that when I want to use a property which is a list. In that case I will always get a list of JAXBElement instead of objects of the correct class.
Assume this given xml snipped:
<domainObjects avqxsi:type="avqsq:AssetAllocation" id="100" name="Some Name">
<nodes>101</nodes>
<nodes>102</nodes>
</domainObjects>
Now all the "nodes" are ids of different domain objects of type AANode. So in the xsd it is defined like so:
<xsd:complexType name="AssetAllocation">
<xsd:complexContent>
<xsd:extension base="avqsq:DomainObject">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element ecore:reference="avqsq:AANode" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="nodes" type="xsd:IDREF"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:extension>
</xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>
And I have defined some bindings.xml:
<jaxb:bindings node="xsd:complexType[#name='AssetAllocation']//xsd:element[#name='nodes']">
<jaxb:property>
<jaxb:baseType name="my.api.xsd.AANode"/>
</jaxb:property>
</jaxb:bindings>
What I want is a POJO property like this:
#XmlElementRef(name = "nodes")
protected List<AANode> nodes;
But what I actually get at runtime is a List<JAXBElement<AANode>> which leads into a ClassCastException.
EDIT 1:
I have missed the fact that the cxf-codegen framework is generating a class where you clearly can see that the property is annotated with JAXBElement.class which i think is wrong. Interestingly changing the annotation by hand to AANode.class will fail with an IllegalAnnotationException: AANode" or any of its subclasses are not known to this context.
public class AssetAllocation
extends DomainObject
implements Serializable, Equals, HashCode, ToString
{
#XmlElementRef(name = "nodes", type = JAXBElement.class)
protected List<AANode> nodes;
apache CXF code gen plugin will always generate codes with JAXBElement until you set the generate element property flag.
Please create Jaxb binding.xml and refer that binding xml in your code gen plugin section from pom file as below
binding.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jaxb:bindings version="2.0"
xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb">
<jaxb:bindings>
<jaxb:globalBindings generateElementProperty="false"/>
</jaxb:bindings>
</jaxb:bindings>
code gen plugin

<version>3.1.1</version>

This will resolve the issue
In fact the wsdl2java generates classes with wrong annotations. Instead of
#XmlElementRef(name = "nodes", type = JAXBElement.class)
protected List<AANode> nodes;
One would expect to have:
#XmlIDREF
protected List<AANode> nodes;
I was not able to manage this by bindings.xml. So my final solution is that I use a Byte-Code manipulation to fix the annotations. That way I do not have to mess around with the generated classes or with the generator itself.

Modify java classes to include specific annotations at compile time

I have many classes generated by JAXB's xsd2java. I need all these classes to be annotated with specific annotations at compile time (for example with lombok annotations). Is there any way to do this, with some code generation tool for example?
Disclaimer: I am the author of JAXB2 Annotate Plugin which allows you adding arbitrary annotations to the schema-derived classes.
Short example:
<xsd:complexType name="FooType">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:appinfo>
<annox:annotate>#java.lang.SuppressWarnings({"unchecked","rawtypes"})</annox:annotate>
<annox:annotate target="package">#javax.annotation.Generated({"XJC","JAXB2 Annotate Plugin"})</annox:annotate>
</xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="bar" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="foobar" type="xsd:string">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:appinfo>
<annox:annotate>#java.lang.SuppressWarnings({"unchecked","rawtypes"})</annox:annotate>
<annox:annotate target="setter">#java.lang.Deprecated</annox:annotate>
<annox:annotate target="setter-parameter">#java.lang.Deprecated</annox:annotate>
<annox:annotate target="getter">#java.lang.Deprecated</annox:annotate>
<annox:annotate target="field">#java.lang.Deprecated</annox:annotate>
<annox:annotate target="class">#java.lang.Deprecated</annox:annotate>
</xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
Works in external binding files as well.
Limitations:
Annotations are provided in Java syntax, but you have to use fully qualified names.
You have to include annotations classes (lombok, for instance) into the XJC classpath as these classes must be available during the schema compilation time.
ps. I assume that when you said xsd2java you probably meant XJC.
Update
The OP asked about in comments how to configure it with the jaxb2-maven-plugin.
You can use jaxb2-annotate-plugin with jaxb2-maven-plugin as well. I just have never tried it.
You can include additional JARs into classpath by using the dependencies/depenency in pom.xml.
Then you'll need to add arguments into the configuration.
See this answer (and question) for examples:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/12804497/303810
It is about other plugins but you'll get a clue on how to configure it with Codehaus jaxb2-maven-plugin.
Configuration with my maven-jaxb2-plugin would be as follows:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<extension>true</extension>
<args>
<arg>-Xannotate</arg>
</args>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-basics-annotate</artifactId>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-annotate-plugin-test-annox-annotations</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</configuration>
</plugin>
This part:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-annotate-plugin-test-annox-annotations</artifactId>
</plugin>
refers to the artifact containing the annotation classes.
Here's a sample pom.xml for maven-jaxb2-plugin/jaxb2-annotate-plugin combo.

Can't use jaxb bindings on individual xsd elements

I'm using jaxb to generate java source code from an xsd file.
I want to be able to specify which packages the sources are generated in on a per element basis, however whenever I generate sources I get the following error:
[ERROR] ****/src/main/xjb/common.xjb[8,24]
com.sun.istack.SAXParseException2: compiler was unable to honor this schemaBinding customization. It is attached to a wrong place, or its inconsistent with other bindings.
My bindings file common.xjb is attempting to place the element with the name (attribute value) 'api' in the package 'com.myxml.common.api':
<jxb:bindings version="1.0" xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<jxb:bindings schemaLocation="../xsd/common/common.xsd" node="/xs:schema">
<jxb:bindings node="//xs:element[#name='api']">
<jxb:schemaBindings>
<jxb:package name="com.myxml.common.api" />
</jxb:schemaBindings>
</jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>
My xsd file common.xsd is:
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="1.1" xml:lang="en">
<xs:element name='api'>
<xs:complexType>
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:string" />
</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
And I'm using the following Maven plugin to get everything going:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>schema00-generate</id>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>xjc</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<schemaFiles>common/common.xsd</schemaFiles>
<bindingFiles>common.xjb</bindingFiles>
<bindingDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/xjb</bindingDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Why am I getting this error and how can I resolve it? I don't have any other bindings in use at this stage that I'm aware of.
Elements from the same namespace cannot be mapped to different packages so the package cannot be defined for anything other than the top level

JAXB Bindings to schemas in a JAR

I'm using the maven jaxb2 plugin to generate Java classes, built from schemas in a jar. However, I'm not sure how to correctly locate to these schemas from a bindings file. If Iextract the schemas from the jar and drop them in the same directory as the bindings, all is well. However, this isn't a practical long term solution.
pom.xml:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.8.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>generate</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<schemas>
<schema>
<dependencyResource>
<groupId>com.test</groupId>
<artifactId>schemas</artifactId>
<version>1.10-SNAPSHOT</version>
<resource>schemas/schema.xsd</resource>
</dependencyResource>
</schema>
</schemas>
<bindingDirectory>bindings</bindingDirectory>
<generatePackage>test.package</generatePackage>
<bindingIncludes>
<include>*.xml</include>
</bindingIncludes>
<extension>true</extension>
</configuration>
</plugin>
bindings.xml:
<jxb:bindings xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb ./bindingschema_2_1.xsd"
version="2.1">
<jxb:bindings schemaLocation="classpath:/schemas/schema.xsd" node="/xs:schema">
<jxb:bindings node="//xs:complexType[#name='AbstractChangeable']">
<jxb:class implClass="com.test.AbstractEntity" />
</jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>
You need to use maven-dependency-plugin:unpack and then point maven-jaxb2-plugin to outputDirectory. In this case in binding file you need to say something like schemaLocation="../target/schemas/schema.xsd"
What I'd like to have working here is something like:
<jaxb:bindings schemaLocation="maven:org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2:maven-jaxb2-plugin-tests-po!/purchaseorder.xsd" node="/xs:schema">
<jaxb:schemaBindings>
<jaxb:package name="org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2.tests.po"/>
</jaxb:schemaBindings>
</jaxb:bindings>
But it does not at the moment. Please file an issue, I'll try to fix it.
What does work now is SCD-based binding:
<jaxb:bindings scd="x-schema::po" xmlns:po="urn:po">
<jaxb:schemaBindings>
<jaxb:package name="org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2.tests.po"/>
</jaxb:schemaBindings>
</jaxb:bindings>
So you don't actually need to bind based on a specific schema location, you can bind based on the namespace URI, which is theoretically better.
Practically I have an experience that SCD-bindings don't always work reliably.
UPDATE
See this link for more information SCD usage in JAXB.
I know this is an old question but I was struggling with the same problem. I found that doing inline bindings would solve the problem. You would no longer have any need for the binding file and the bindings would be carried over to projects depending on it.
