Hi Benedickt, Your example is really clear, and I think it should be supported by CXF!
To summarize to other members of the mailing list, the concept is that if I annotate my class with these 303 annotations: public class TestDTO { @Min(100) private int number; @Pattern(regexp = "mypattern") private String patternCheck; @Size(max = 100) private String lengthCheck; } I would get an XML schema like this: <complexType name="testDTO"> <sequence> <element minOccurs="0" name="lengthCheck"> <simpleType> * <restriction base="string"><maxLength value="100"/></restriction>* </simpleType> </element> <element name="number"> <simpleType> * <restriction base="int"><maxInclusive value="100"/></restriction>* </simpleType> </element> <element minOccurs="0" name="patternCheck"> <simpleType> * <restriction base="string"><pattern value="mypattern"/></restriction>* </simpleType> </element> </sequence> </complexType> (for full code see, Benedickt's examples on GitHub, I just shrank its examples) Well, here some feedback. It is maybe something more related to JaxB rather than JaxWs: it is JaxB that handle the binding and the XML schema generation. JaxB is standardized by a JSR (maybe it is JSR 222) and the specification does not take into account (I think) the JSR 303, so if this is to be embraced by CXF (and I would like it to be), it should be developed as something pluggable and that need to keep compliance with JSR 222. Taking into account potential regressions, it should be something that need to be enabled via some kind of flags or CXF specific annotation: for example, there could exist people who have implementations using CXF and JSR 303 for different reason, and if the JSR 303 support is added transparently this broke their WSDL ! So enabling of this feature should be something people is aware of. Also, the main use case of mine does not take into account direct generation of the WSDL using java2ws-maven-plugin: we develop (a lot) of JaxWS annotated Java interfaces, and we publish them directly org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsServerFactoryBean or from Camel in xml routes (WSDL is generated at runtime). While in the maven plugin it could be sufficient to put an attribute on the maven configuration, in these cases it would require a change on the API to launch and support the generation of XML schemas that takes into account JSR 303. I think you should open a ticket on CXF's Jira to propose the feature, or ask more feedback from the main committers. I think that if they understand the idea, they would like it. thanks, Cristiano Il giorno mer 25 nov 2015 alle ore 08:13 Benedikt Ritter <brit...@apache.org> ha scritto: > 2015-11-21 12:44 GMT+01:00 Benedikt Ritter <brit...@apache.org>: > > > Hello Christiano, > > > > 2015-11-20 7:52 GMT+01:00 Cristiano Costantini < > > cristiano.costant...@gmail.com>: > > > >> Hi, > >> your idea seems interesting, > >> could you write an example of what you mean?
