## NAME
       wsimport - Generates JAX-WS portable artifacts that can be packaged in a web application
       archive (WAR) file and provides an Ant task.

## SYNOPSIS
       **wsimport** [ _options_ ] _wsdl_


       _options_
              The command-line options. See Options.

       _wsdl_   The file that contains the machine-readable description of how the web service can be
              called, what parameters it expects, and what data structures it returns.

## DESCRIPTION
       The **wsimport** command generates the following JAX-WS portable artifacts. These artifacts can
       be packaged in a WAR file with the WSDL and schema documents and the endpoint implementation
       to be deployed. The **wsimport** command also provides a **wsimport** Ant task, see the Tools tab of
       the Wsimport Ant Task page at <http://jax-ws.java.net/nonav/2.1.1/docs/wsimportant.html>

       • Service Endpoint Interface (SEI)

       • Service

       • Exception class is mapped from **wsdl:fault** (if any)

       • Async Response Bean is derived from response **wsdl:message** (if any)

       • JAXB generated value types (mapped java classes from schema types)

       To start the **wsgen** command, do the following:

       _Oracle_ _Solaris/Linux_:

### /bin/wsimport.sh -help

       _Windows_:

### \bin\wsimport.bat -help


## OPTIONS
       -d _directory_
              Specifies where to place generated output files.

       -b _path_
              Specifies external JAX-WS or JAXB binding files. Multiple JAX-WS and JAXB binding
              files can be specified with the **-b** option. You can use these files to customize
              package names, bean names, and so on. For more information about JAX-WS and JAXB
              binding files, see the _Users_ _Guide_ tab of WSDL Customization at <http://jax>-
              ws.java.net/nonav/2.1.1/docs/wsimportant.html

       -B _jaxbOption_
              Passes the **jaxbOption** option to the JAXB schema compiler.

### -catalog
              Specifies a catalog file to resolve external entity references. The **-catalog** option
              supports the TR9401, XCatalog, and OASIS XML Catalog formats. See the _Users_ _Guide_ tab
              of the Catalog Support page at <http://jax-ws.java.net/nonav/2.1.1/docs/catalog>-
              support.html

### -extension
              Allows vendor extensions. Use of extensions can result in applications that are not
              portable or that do not work with other implementations.

### -help
              Displays a help message for the **wsimport** command.

       -httpproxy: _host_:_port_
              Specifies an HTTP proxy server. The default is 8080.

### -keep
              Keeps generated files.

       -p _name_
              Specifies a target package _name_ to override the WSDL and schema binding
              customizations, and the default algorithm defined in the specification.

       -s _directory_
              Specifies where to place generated source files.

### -verbose
              Displays compiler messages.

### -version
              Prints release information.

       -wsdllocation _location_
              Specifies the **@WebServiceClient.wsdlLocation** value.

### -target
              Generates code according to the specified JAX-WS specification version. Version 2.0
              generates compliant code for the JAX-WS 2.0 specification.

### -quiet
              Suppresses the **wsimport** command output.

       Multiple **JAX-WS** and **JAXB** binding files can be specified using the **-b** option, and they can be
       used to customize various things such as package names and bean names. More information about
       **JAX-WS** and **JAXB** binding files can be found in the customization documentation at <https://jax>-
       ws.dev.java.net/nonav/2.1.1/docs/customizations.html

## NONSTANDARD OPTIONS
### -XadditionalHeaders
              Maps headers not bound to a request or response message to Java method parameters.

       -Xauthfile _file_
              The WSDL URI that specifies the file that contains authorization information. This URI
              is in the following format:

              <http://_user-name_>:**password**@_host-name_/_web-service-name_>?wsdl.

### -Xdebug
              Prints debugging information.

### -Xno-addressing-databinding
              Enables binding of W3C EndpointReferenceType to Java.

## EXAMPLE
