Description

Generated Java code using CXF wsdl2java with xmlbeans databinding contains wrong return type for collections/arrays.

To reproduce the problem.

1. Use CustomerService.wsdl file from the wsdl_first sample.
2. Run wsdl2java without a binding file.
3. Look at the generated interface CustomerService.java

The generated code for getCustomersByName operation on CustomerService service is shown below

@WebService(targetNamespace = "http://customerservice.example.com/", name = "CustomerService")
@DataBinding(org.apache.cxf.xmlbeans.XmlBeansDataBinding.class)
public interface CustomerService

{ @WebResult(name = "return", targetNamespace = "") @RequestWrapper(localName = "getCustomersByName", targetNamespace = "http://customerservice.example.com/", className = "com.example.customerservice.GetCustomersByNameDocument") @WebMethod @ResponseWrapper(localName = "getCustomersByNameResponse", targetNamespace = "http://customerservice.example.com/", className = "com.example.customerservice.GetCustomersByNameResponseDocument") public com.example.customerservice.Customer getCustomersByName( @WebParam(name = "name", targetNamespace = "") String name ) throws NoSuchCustomerException; }

Note that the getCustomersByName () method returns Customer object.
Based on the CusotmerService.wsdl, it should return a list of Customers or the wrapper GetCustomersByNameResponse object.

Workaround (Credit Daniel Kulp):

You can flip it to BARE mode by creating a small binding file containing:

<jaxws:bindings
wsdlLocation="CustomerService.wsdl"
xmlns:jaxws="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws">
<jaxws:enableWrapperStyle>false</jaxws:enableWrapperStyle>
</jaxws:bindings>

and passing that to wsdl2java via the -b flag. That would force the BARE
mode and wouldn't attempt the unwrapping.
