Can Apache CXF generate a client and automatically get local copies of WSDLs and schemas?

I have inherited a project that relies on an Apache CXF generated client. Instantiation of this client is SLOW. I think this is because the WSDLs, schemas, and DTDs are not stored locally they are fetched remotely every time.

Is there a way to generate a CXF client which automatically creates a local copy of the WSDL and schemas when the client is generated?

Is there a tool other than CXF that can generate java code which automatically pulls theses resources locally?

Solution

  • You can use wsdl2java plugin, either you can provide the url or local copy reference of wsdl. For more info refer plugin documentation here and sample program here
