How to tell cxf to keep the wrapper types in methods?

Question

In my WSDL I have an operation

<wsdl:operation name="theMethod">
    <wsdl:input message="input1" name="input1"></wsdl:input>
    <wsdl:output message="tns:classNumber1" name="classNumber1"></wsdl:output>
</wsdl:operation>

in my xsd, classNumber1 is a complex type and it is a wrapper for another type: classNumber2

<xs:complexType name="classNumber1">
  <xs:sequence>
   <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="arg0" type="tns:classNumber2"/>
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

when I generate classes with cxf (I use cxf maven plugin), I expected that theMethod to return a ClassNumber1 but it was a ClassNumber2.

@WebMethod
@ResponseWrapper(localName="classNumber1" , className="com.model.ClassNumber")
public ClassNumber2 theMethod (Input1 input1){
    ...
}

Is there a way to tell cxf to generate the method with the wrapper CLassNumber1. Thanks.

I find the solution in this doc, question "How can I switch my generated web service method calls from wrapper style to non wrapper-style (or vice-versa)?"

The solution to keep wrappers with cxf generation is to add a binding file in the pom.xml:

<defaultOptions>
<bindingFiles>
    <bindingFile>${basedir}/src/main/resources/bindings.xjb</bindingFile>
</bindingFiles>
<noAddressBinding>true</noAddressBinding>
</defaultOptions>

In the binding file you set enableWrapperStyle to false:

<jaxws:bindings
    xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws"
    xmlns:jaxws="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws">
    <enableWrapperStyle>false</enableWrapperStyle>
</jaxws:bindings>
