GWT and a jaxb objects

Question

I am trying to use GWT to build objects on the client side that would be sent to a web service elsewhere. These objects are generate through JAX-WS which I am pretty sure uses jaxb to build objects from the xsds that are in the wsdl.

Anyhow, GWT was supposed to be able to support this by ignoring annotations or whatever, but it isn't working for me. Here is one of the errors that I am getting:

Line 4: The import javax.xml.bind cannot be resolve

I am using GWT 2 and the Google plugin for Eclipse.

Answer 1

If I am correct you cannot use that library on the client side... That's why you get the exception.

You can find a list of packages that are available for use at the following location. http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/RefJreEmulation.html

Answer 2

You can use your generated JAXB objects on the client if you include the source files from the javax.xml.bin.annotation package in your GWT compile path. You may need to include a few source files from javax.xml.bind and javax.xml.bind.annotation.adapters as well to get it to compile.
