How to avoid CXF codegen from changing element names in schema?

Question

I am using cxf-codegen-plugin v. 3.2.4 in a maven project. WSDL refers to the schema:

<xsd:import namespace="http://mynamespace/"
                        schemaLocation="../schema/MySchema.xsd"/>

But when the generated Server runs, the published wsdl refers to the schema like this:

<xsd:import namespace="http://mynamespace/" schemaLocation="http://localhost:9999/?xsd=1"/>

And this generated xsd changed the argument names for a given method. The original schema has the following definition:

<xs:complexType name="myMethod">
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="messageHeader" type="tns:soapMessageHeader" minOccurs="0"/>
            <xs:element name="myId" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
            <xs:element name="mySecondId" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
            <xs:element name="myThirdId" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
            <xs:element name="password" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
        </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>

Whereas the generated schema has the following:

<xs:complexType name="myMethod">
<xs:sequence>
   <xs:element name="arg0" type="tns:soapMessageHeader" minOccurs="0"/>
   <xs:element name="arg1" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
   <xs:element name="arg2" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
   <xs:element name="arg3" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
   <xs:element name="arg4" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

It changed the element names from the defined ones to "arg0", "arg...". I need this not to be done.

My pom has this:

                </executions>
            </plugin>

The automatically generated interface for the service has the @WebParam annotation.

Can anyone help me, please?

In http://www.benmccann.com/web-services-tutorial-with-apache-cxf the author indicates the usage of endpointInterface annotation attribute in order to respect the annotations inside the automatically generated interface (by cxf itself):

@WebService(endpointInterface = "com.company.auth.service.AuthService",
            serviceName = "corporateAuthService")

This alternative requires no additional xml configuration.

Tomcat EE documentation gives us a completed example: http://tomee.apache.org/examples-trunk/simple-webservice
