Specify to generate the wrapper and fault bean

-client

Specify to generate client side code

-server

Specify to generate server side code

-ant

Specify to generate an Ant build.xml script

-cp

Specify the SEI and types class search path of directories and zip/jar files.

-soap12

Specifies that the generated WSDL is to include a SOAP 1.2 binding.

-t

Specifies the target namespace to use in the generated WSDL file.

-servicename

Specifies the value of the generated service element's name attribute.

-v

Displays the version number for the tool.

-verbose

Displays comments during the code generation process.

-quiet

Suppresses comments during the code generation process.

-classdir

The directory in which the generated sources are compiled into. If not specified, the files are not compiled.

-portname

Specify the port name to use in the generated wsdl.

-address

Specify the port address.

-beans

Specify the pathname of a file defining additional Spring beans to customize databinding configuration.

-createxsdimports

Output schemas to separate files and use imports to load them instead of inlining them into the wsdl.

-d

The directory in which the resource files are placed, wsdl file will be placed into this directory by default

classname

Specifies the name of the SEI class.

...

java2ws -wsdl -d ./resource org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter
java2ws -cp ./tmp org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter -wsdl
java2ws -o hello.wsdl -wsdl org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter
java2ws -client -server -s ./src org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter
java2ws -wrapperbean -classdir ./classes org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter

Using java2ws with Ant

...

Make sure you set the "fork=true" attribute for the <java/> task as shown above. Also, remember to keep each word or flag within the command line options in its own <arg/> element (e.g., do not use <arg value="-o hello.wsdl"/>, but split them up into two <arg/> elements as done here.)

Although we would recommend using Maven, see the antbuild sample in the CXF distribution for an example of using Ant to create a CXF project.
