PM38080: JAX-WS JAXB web service client generation Custom Binding Declarations wscompile failure on existing classes

Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.5.5.4

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In the JAX-WS client generation wizard wscompile / compilation
  fails because the product is not able to find existing class
  files even though they exists
  in the target project and is referred to by the JAXB 'xjb' file:
  
  mapConverterPropertyDeclaration.xjb
  
  that has been Added to Custom Binding Declarations
  after selecting ?Specify JAX-WS or JAXB binding files?.

  When generating JAX-WS code using the web service or client
  wizards in IBM Rational Application Developer wsimport
  encounters a compilation error due to being unable to find a
  class even when the class does exist in the workspace. This
  can occur when specifying custom JAXB binding files to use
  existing classes in the workspace as JAXB binding values.
  
  This issue is caused by the wsimport compiling the generated
  java code outside of the workspace in a temporary directory.
  
  An example error:
  
  Errors occurred during wsimport.
    Errors occurred during wsimport.

Problem conclusion

• The compilation done by wsimport is redundant since the
  generated code is compiled once copied into the workspace.
  
  To fix this the JAX-WS wizards were changed to pass in
  "-Xnocompile" option to wsimport and is corrected in
  Rational Application Developer v7.5.5.4.
