MWSC

WSDL to IOS Objective-C and Android Java Code Generator based on JAX-WS Wsimport

Feature Highlight

1. Standard based : based on Oracle JAX-WS 2.1 Wsimport, recognize most standard WSDL and XML Schema components.
2. Objective-C Pico Binding Support : auto-generate Pico for IOS strongly typed proxy from WSDL.
3. Android Nano Binding Support : auto-generate Nano for Android srongly typed proxy from WSDL.
4. Doc Auto Generation : auto-generate code comments from WSDL and XML Schema annotations.
5. JAX-WS/JAXB Binding Customization : support binding customization in case the code generated by defaut binding does not meet real needs.

How to Use

Download zip package from repository mentioned in version history below, latest stable release is 0.6.0, then extract the zip file and run mwsc script in command line:

Usage: mwsc [options] <WSDL_URI>

where [options] include:
  -nano                     target Nano for Android as code generation target(default)
  -privateField             generate private fields, accessed by public accessors, only for nano binding
  -pico                     target Pico for IOS as code generation target
  -prefix <prefix>          add prefix to the target classes, only for pico binding
                            (recommended to avoid possible name conflict)
  -b <path>                 specify jaxws/jaxb binding files or additional schemas
                            (Each <path> must have its own -b)
  -B<jaxbOption>            Pass this option to JAXB schema compiler
  -d <directory>            specify where to place generated source files
  -help                     display help
  -httpproxy:<host>:<port>  specify a HTTP proxy server (port defaults to 8080)
  -p <pkg>                  specifies the target package
  -quiet                    suppress mswc output
  -verbose                  output messages about what the compiler is doing
  -version                  print JAX-WS version information
