Generating Java code from a WSDL

Another java/web services post for yah. I recently had to generate some java code from a wsdl file to be able to access a webservice.

I used the axis2-wsdl2code-maven-plugin to accomplish this. Here's the pom file I created.

  4.0.0
  jalki-wsdl2java
  jalki-wsdl2java
  1.0-SNAPSHOT
  jalki-wsdl2java

  
      
          http://HOST:PORTS/CONTEXT/WEB_SERVICE_NAME?wsdl
      
  

  
      
          org.apache.axis2
          axis2
          1.4
      
      
          org.apache.ws.commons.axiom
          axiom-impl
          1.2.8
      
      
          wsdl4j
          wsdl4j
          1.6.2
      
  
  
      
          
              org.apache.axis2
              axis2-wsdl2code-maven-plugin
              1.4
              
                  
                      
                          wsdl2code
                      
                      
                          blah.blah.ws.client
                          ${WSDL_FILE_LOCATION}
                      
                  
              
          
      
  

With a simple invocation of "mvn clean install" this great plugin generates the client Java classes needed to interact with the web service.
