I tried to use JAXB2 simplify plugin using the XJC 2.2.4.
D:\>xjc -d . -extension -p org.my.space sample.xsd parsing a schema... [ERROR] Unsupported binding namespace
"http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/basic/simplify". Perhaps you meant
"http://jaxb.dev.java.net/plugin/code-injector"? line 7 of file:/D:/sample.xsd
Failed to parse a schema.
sample.xsd has the declared simplify
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" jaxb:version="2.1"

jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="simplify"
xmlns="http://www.example.org/sampleXML" targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/sampleXML"

any thoughts?
EDIT:
I tried other way around with bindings file xjb and still the same error. Does it mean my XJC version(2.2) does not support JAXB2 simplify ?
xjc -d . -extension -b bindings.xjb sample.xsd

I switched to maven jaxb2 plugin and with some more efforts it worked fine. For people who have trouble in future. This setup works just fine in JDK 1.6 (for those still cant migrate).

I did not use binding.xjb as I have included the simplify directly in the schema (as i have access).

I have a Vendor.xsd, where the namespace definition is referencing a vendor specific namespace http://vendor.com/xjc-plugins. A snippet is given below:
...
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

</xs:appinfo>

...
When I try to generate jaxbs by using either xjc from command line or maven-jaxb22-plugin the following exception occurs:
Unsupported binding namespace "http://vendor.com/xjc-plugins". Perhaps you meant "http://annox.dev.java.net"?

Any ideas welcome ?
You do not seem to include your XJC plugin in plugins section of the maven-jaxb2-plugin configuration. Binding namespace must be acknowledged by some plugin. You only include jaxb2-basics but not the plugin which would acknowledge http://vendor.com/xjc-plugins.
I want to have a project A with some common used XML schema files and some java classes dependent on the generated classes (generated from jaxb), using namespace a and package a, and I want to have a project B dependent on project A.
in project B i want to have a XML schema file using some XML types from project A, project b has namespace b, then JAXB needs to generate java classes from schema b into the package b.
I know that episodes and catalogs might help, but i can not prevent jaxb to create the java classes comming from schema a twice in project b.
here is my maven configuration:
project A:
<build>

In this way you're not using the episodes, because you unpack the xsd within B project, so regenerates the classes from A project.
You should using the following configuration

Remember to add as dependency the project A.
I'm trying to add an interface using the jaxb2-basics artifact from the jaxb2_commons maven group.
My pom.xml contains the following dependencies

As you can see from the above, there are two invocations of xjc, which both work. Focusing on the first one, my bindings file
<jaxb:bindings
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"
xmlns:inheritance="http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/basic/inheritance"
jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="xjc"
version="1.0">
<jaxb:bindings schemaLocation="../schema/MESSAGES-IN.xsd" node="/xs:schema">
<jaxb:globalBindings typesafeEnumMaxMembers="3000">
<jaxb:serializable uid="1"/>
</jaxb:globalBindings>
<jaxb:schemaBindings>
<jaxb:package name="com.whatever.messages.request"/>
</jaxb:schemaBindings>
<jaxb:bindings node="//xs:simpleType[#name='YesOrNo']">
<jaxb:class ref="com.whatever.messages.YesOrNo"/>
</jaxb:bindings>
<jaxb:bindings noade="//xs:complexType[#name='someLogin']">
<jaxb:class name="LoginRequest">
<jaxb:javadoc><![CDATA[A Login request message.]]>
</jaxb:javadoc>
</jaxb:class>
</jaxb:bindings>
</jaxb:bindings>
</jaxb:bindings>
works like a charm; but, when I attempt to add an interface to 'LoginRequest'...
<jaxb:bindings node="//xs:complexType[#name='someLogin']">
<jaxb:class name="LoginRequest">
<jaxb:javadoc><![CDATA[A Login request message.]]>
</jaxb:javadoc>
</jaxb:class>
<inheritance:implements>com.whatever.messages.Request</inheritance:implements>
</jaxb:bindings>
I receive the error message
Error while parsing schema(s).Location [ file:/C:/Users/justme/Documents/NetBeansProjects/someproject/src/main/binding/messages-in-binding.xjb{19,42}].
com.sun.istack.SAXParseException2; systemId: file:/C:/Users/justme/Documents/NetBeansProjects/someproject/src/main/binding/messsages-in-binding.xjb; lineNumber: 19; columnNumber: 42; compiler was unable to honor this class customization. It is attached to a wrong place, or its inconsistent with other bindings.
which reports that the location was
Error while generating code.Location [ file:/C:/Users/justme/Documents/NetBeansProjects/someproject/src/main/schema/MESSAGES-IN.xsd{106693,54}].
which happens to correspond to
<xs:complexType name="someLogin" mixed="true">
...
</xs:complexType>
Now, I've tried a second directive to bind the interface to the XSD element
<xs:element name="someLogin" type="someLogin" substitutionGroup="externalMethod"/>
But I just get the same error message with the element's line number as the location.
Obviously one wants to attach an interface to a class, and all of the examples look pretty close to my bindings file, but something must be wrong.
My environment is
Apache Maven 3.0.4 (r1232337; 2012-01-17 02:44:56-0600)
Maven home: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.2.1\java\maven
Java version: 1.7.0_07, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "x86", family: "windows"
Can someone explain why xjc believes the extension is operating on the wrong XSD type?
In the construction
<jaxb:bindings
node="//Xs:complexType[#name='someLogin">
...
</jaxb:bindings>
the node attribute is expected to be an XPath expression. (Or so it says at Oracle). Try adding the closing square bracket to make it one, and see if that helps.
I am trying to use the same generated class but in separate packages. So the structure should look something like this:
com.test.common
-commonType.java
com.test.A
-objectA.java
com.test.B
-objectB.java
But i keep getting this:
com.test.common
-commonType.java
com.test.A
-objectA.java
-commonType.java
com.test.B
-objectB.java
-commonType.java
My common.xsd looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" version="1.0"

<xs:complexType name="CommonType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
the objectA.xsd looks like
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" version="1.0"

<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="size" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="commonA" type="common:CommonType" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
And objectB.xsd looks like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" version="1.0"
targetNamespace="http://test.com/magic/objectB"
xmlns:common="http://test.com/magic/common"

<xs:element name="version" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="commonB" type="common:CommonType" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
I have a common binding file common.xjb which looks like this:
<jxb:bindings schemaLocation="../xsd/common.xsd" node="/xsd:schema">

There is a part in the maven-jaxb2-plugin documentation dedicated specifically to the separate schema compilation. But you can also achieve your goal with usual XJC bindings.
Do not use generatePackage in the plugin config, use jaxb:package in bindings, ex.:
<jaxb:schemaBindings>
<jaxb:package name="generatePackage"/>
</jaxb:schemaBindings>
Use <jaxb:class ref="com.test.common.CommonType"/> on commonType in xjb/commons.xjb.
SO Disclaimer: I'm the author of the maven-jaxb2-plugin.
You can use the -episode extension in the JAXB XJC to handle this use case:
XJC call for common.xsd
xjc -d out -episode common.episode common.xsd
XJC call for objectA.xsd
The episode file produced from the first step is really a JAXB external bindings file that contains links between schema types and existing classes. This prevents XJC from regenerating these classes.
xjc -d out objectA.xsd -extension -b common.episode
For a Detailed Example
Can Castor handle class generation from multiple XSDs importing from a base XSD?
Forgive me if this is a duplicate. Here is my binding.xjb file. But now i am getting the regular error that the complex type target "AddBankVaultRplyType" is not found. I don't see any issue. Can somebody help me with this? I am listing the xsd that i am trying to customize
<jxb:bindings
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"
xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"

>
<jxb:bindings node="/xs:schema/xs:ServiceReply/xs:complexType[#name='AddBankVaultRplyType']">
<inheritance:extends>com.print.poc.AddressTypeHelper</inheritance:extends>
</jxb:bindings>
Here is the piece of XSD that i am trying to customize
<xs:schema xmlns:pd="http://com/polsvc/xmlobj" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://com/polsvc/xmlobj" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:complexType name="AddBankVaultRplyType">

<xs:element name="ServiceReply">

<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="ReplyHeader" type="pd:MsgHeaderType"/>
<xs:element name="RequestHeader" type="pd:MsgHeaderType"/>
<xs:choice>
<xs:element name="AddBankVaultReply" type="pd:AddBankVaultRplyType"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
Now if i run XJC it is saying me that the target "/xs:schema/xs:ServiceReply/xs:complexType[#name='AddBankVaultRplyType']" results in empty node. What is the mistake i am doing here
You will need to wrap in a bindings that has the schema location set. It should be something like:
<jxb:bindings
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"
xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:pd="http://chubb.com/cpi/polsvc/xmlobj"
xmlns:inheritance="http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/basic/inheritance"
jxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="inheritance"
version="2.1">
<jxb:bindings schemaLocation="your-schema.xsd">
<jxb:bindings node="//xs:complexType[#name='AddBankVaultRplyType']">
<inheritance:extends>com.print.poc.AddressTypeHelper</inheritance:extends>
</jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>

I finally got mine workign with subclassing as well as adding #XmlRootElement to those dang complexTypes that are used by a root element(I don't get why JAXB doesn't add it for me, but this does the trick of doing that since JAXB doesn't)
