I'm using SPring 3.2.11.RELEASE and CXF 2.7.18. I have htis in my SPring application context file, necessary for communicating with a web service ...
<jaxws:client id="myWebServiceClient"
serviceClass="org.mainco.bsorg.MyWebService"
address="${wsdl.url}"
/>
<cxf:bus>
<cxf:properties>
<entry key="org.apache.cxf.stax.maxElementCount" value="10000000"/>
</cxf:properties>
</cxf:bus>
In my Maven pom.xml file, I have this configured for the plugin ...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>wsimport</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<target>2.1</target>
<wsdlDirectory>${basedir}/src/wsdl</wsdlDirectory>
<sourceDestDir>${basedir}/src/main/java</sourceDestDir>
<packageName>org.mainco.bsorg</packageName>
<vmArgs>
<vmArg>-Djavax.xml.accessExternalSchema=all</vmArg>
</vmArgs>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Unfrotunately I get this error when I execute a particular call against my web service ...

If I change my maxElementCount value from "10000000" to "1000000", I get the above error with "Maximum Number of Child Elements limit (1000000) Exceeded". Is there a way I can get CXF to ignore the maxElementCount restriction altogether? It is a pain having to fiddle with a max value. I'm open to using natoher technique for configuring a web service in Spring, but if you suggest one, please provide the Maven and Spring configurations I would need.
Have you tried setting the org.apache.cxf.stax.maxChildElements property?
It seems you are trying to override the wrong property maxElementCount instead of maxChildElements.
See the docs here.
