JAXB Simplify plugin vs *.xjb - jaxb

Question

I'm trying to use the Simplify plugin to replace a complex property with a set of simpler ones. I made it working following the plugin's manual. But I can't change the original schema, so I have to use an external bindings.xjb. And it gives me all sort of errors. Does somebody have a working example of a similar thing?
Original XSD:
<xs:schema id="messages"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
version="Exchange2010_SP2"
xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages"
xmlns:tns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages"
xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages">
<xs:import namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types" schemaLocation="types.xsd"/>
...
<xs:complexType name="ArrayOfResponseMessagesType">
<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="CreateItemResponseMessage" type="m:ItemInfoResponseMessageType"/>
<xs:element name="DeleteItemResponseMessage" type="m:ResponseMessageType"/>
<xs:element name="GetItemResponseMessage" type="m:ItemInfoResponseMessageType"/>
...
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
Modified XSD that works for me:
<xs:schema id="messages"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
version="Exchange2010_SP2"
xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages"
xmlns:tns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages"
xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:simplify="http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/basic/simplify"
xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="simplify"
targetNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages">
<xs:import namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types" schemaLocation="types.xsd"/>
...
<xs:complexType name="ArrayOfResponseMessagesType">
<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="CreateItemResponseMessage" type="m:ItemInfoResponseMessageType">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<simplify:as-element-property/>
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="DeleteItemResponseMessage" type="m:ResponseMessageType"/>
<xs:element name="GetItemResponseMessage" type="m:ItemInfoResponseMessageType"/>
...
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
My bindings.xjb (that I want to use instead of changing the schema):
<bindings version="2.1"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:simplify="http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/basic/simplify"
extensionBindingPrefixes="simplify">
<bindings schemaLocation="../wsdl/messages.xsd" node="/xs:schema/xs:complexType[#name='ArrayOfResponseMessagesType']/xs:choice/xs:element[1]">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<simplify:as-element-property/>
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
</bindings>
</bindings>
My current exception
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Unsupported binding namespace "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema". Perhaps you meant "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"?

Answer 1

Ok, I figured this out. Here is the configuration that made it working:
<bindings version="2.1"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:simplify="http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/basic/simplify"
extensionBindingPrefixes="simplify">
<bindings schemaLocation="../wsdl/messages.xsd" node="/xs:schema/xs:complexType[#name='ArrayOfResponseMessagesType']/xs:choice/xs:element[1]">
<simplify:as-element-property/>
</bindings>
</bindings>
That simple.
