Generate the stubs

• Open the file wsdl2java.bat in the bin directory and add the following environment variable:

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_04
set AXIS2_HOME=C:\axis2-1.6.2

• Download the WSDL file
• Run the following in a command file:

wsdl2java  
    -o ../../../.. 
    -S src/main/java 
    -or
    -s 
    -u 
    -ns2p urn://oracle.bi.webservices/v6=oracle.bi.webservices.v6 
    -d adb
    --noBuildXML
    -uri Obiee11gv6.wsdl

where:

• -o is the output directory
• -S defines the source directory (on this case a Maven Path)
• -or says that the generated class must be overwritted
• -s Generate code only for sync invocation methods style
• -ns2p will define different package by namespace (nsp=package) (for only one package, you can use the -p option). The namespace in the WSDL is the targetNamespace attribute.
• -u to unpack the classe (you get more classes but also more details)
• -d defines the data binding framework (default adb)
• –noBuildXML don't generate an ANT build.xml file
• -uri defines the WSDL path

The class will be written from the output directory to the source directory (-S) plus the defined package (-p).
