In case this helps others out…<\/p>\n

I am working on a Java project at the moment using Maven to build the code and run tests etc. I’m also using the cxf-codegen-plugin plugin (as below) to generate some proxies for a soap\/wsdl file I have.<\/p>\n

\r\n<plugin>\r\n   <groupId>org.apache.cxf<\/groupId>\r\n   <artifactId>cxf-codegen-plugin<\/artifactId>\r\n   <version>3.2.2<\/version>\r\n   <executions>\r\n      <execution>\r\n         <id>generate-sources<\/id>\r\n         <phase>generate-sources<\/phase>\r\n         <configuration>\r\n         <wsdlOptions>\r\n            <wsdlOption>\r\n               <wsdl>${project.basedir}\/src\/main\/resources\/wsdl\/Svc.wsdl<\/wsdl>\r\n               <wsdlLocation>classpath:wsdl\/Svc.wsdl<\/wsdlLocation>\r\n               <extraargs>\r\n                  <extraarg>-verbose<\/extraarg>\r\n                  <extraarg>-client<\/extraarg>\r\n                  <extraarg>-p<\/extraarg>\r\n                  <extraarg>com.putridparrot.soap<\/extraarg>\r\n               <\/extraargs>\r\n            <\/wsdlOption>\r\n         <\/wsdlOptions>\r\n         <\/configuration>\r\n         <goals>\r\n            <goal>wsdl2java<\/goal>\r\n         <\/goals>\r\n      <\/execution>\r\n   <\/executions>\r\n<\/plugin>\r\n<\/pre>\n
I found that when I tried to either use mvn generate-sources<\/em> mvn install<\/em> the generated source folder was deleted and recreated, however the proxies folder had no proxy code\/files (i.e. the files were deleted and not regenerated). <\/p>\n
If I ran mvn clean install<\/em> the proxy code would re-appear, but subsequent calls to generate-source of install would again delete the proxy code\/files.<\/p>\n
To cut a long story short it appeared that another plugin was clearing out the generated-sources folder but the cxf-codegen-plugin<\/em> plugin would not regenerate it’s proxy code\/files because of another file which the plugin created in the cxf-codegen-plugin-markers folder.<\/p>\n
Within this folder is a file with a UUID style name. This was being plugin used by the plugin to check whether it needed to regenerate it’s proxy code\/files (it doesn’t check if the files exist or simply regenerate them each time it’s run).<\/p>\n
You can recreate the problem easily by running mvn generate-sources to create the proxies, then delete the generated-sources folder and run mvn generate-sources again. No proxy files are created. Now delete the marker file and the proxies will get regenerated.<\/em><\/p>\n
Deleting this folder (or just the file within it) will fix the problem.<\/p>\n
To stop this happening again you can either ensure the folder or file are deleted when the generate-sources folder is deleted or even simpler just write your proxies to another folder, so this would now get deleted by the other plugins.<\/p>\n
i.e.<\/p>\n
