In a maven based project, what is the standard location to place a WSDL file which will be used to generate source files using wsdltojava? Is it under the resources or there is another path?
The wsdl2java maven plugin does not specify a default location for a WSDL file.
However, if you're going to ship your jar file with an included WSDL the JAX-WS specs generally indicate that META-INF/wsdl/ is a good place for such files. In your case, this would be resources/META-INF/wsdl/.
