Console:

 org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; not an external binding file. 
The root element must be {http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb}bindings but it is {http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws}bindings

Answer 1

Are you missing jaxb namespace declaration? Add jaxb:bindings xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb as shown in example below.

Also can you move the JAXWS-element inside of JAXB-element. Something like.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jaxb:bindings xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="2.1" jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="xjc annox">
    <jaxws:bindings xmlns:jaxws="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws">
    </jaxws:bindings>
</jaxb:bindings>
