Mapping the schema type to the Java type

This subsection describes the mapping of the types defined in the WSDL schema (xsd:schema child element of the wsdl:types element) to the Java types.

The WSDL schema type and Java type are mapped in accordance with the JAXB 2.2 specifications.

The class-based mapping is performed when the schema type is mapped to the Java type. The operations of class-based mapping are as follows:

A JavaBeans class corresponding to the user-defined type is generated.
A class corresponding to the user-defined element is not generated.
The ObjectFactory class is output. Also, the corresponding JAXBElementJavaBeans-class-for-the-type is returned using the create method for the user-defined element.

The following figure shows an example of mapping:

Reference note: Class-based mapping; Indicates that the mapping is the same as if the generateValueClass attribute of the globalBindings element of JAXB is true and the generateElementClass attribute is false (default state of no specification).
