wsgen command line problem

[John Farrel]

I'm using wsgen to generate a web service on an established system.
We are currently upgrading our java version and run across a problem.

We can no longer run wsgen because of the size of the command-line required to run it on a windows system. This is because the system includes many libraries, and moving java versions has introduced more.

The end result is a command line over 11000 characters long, which is too long for the windows OS.

How can I reduce this to a usable size?

I'm putting the libraries in a directory with a short path, but it's not enough.

I could theoretically put all the libraries into one megalibrary with various bits of code, but it makes our whole development environment less intuitive to use, and may cause other problems.

Any ideas?

John

I would always use Maven for such a task:

http://mojo.codehaus.org/jaxws-maven-plugin/wsgen-mojo.html

But that would still end up calling wsgen underneath, wouldn't it?

Yes John but Maven will handle your command line issues for you.
