Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I'm trying to generate a client code with wsimport ant task with a special binding that converts "xs:dateTime" into
java.util.Date instead of the default XMLGregorianCalendar.
I'm following the example provided here: [Using different datatypes|https://jaxb.dev.java.net/guide/Using_different_datatypes.html]

Following the example I've created the class DateAdapter under the package foo(I'm just trying out things, it's not for production obviously :-) )

package foo;

import javax.xml.*;
import javax.xml.bind.*;
import java.util.*;

public class DateAdapter {
  public static Date parseDate(String s) {
    return DatatypeConverter.parseDate(s).getTime();
  }
  public static String printDate(Date dt) {
    Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
    cal.setTime(dt);
    return DatatypeConverter.printDate(cal);
  }
}

and jar it into classes.jar:

D:\Temp>jar -tvf classes.jar
     0 Sat Apr 05 19:48:40 IDT 2008 META-INF/
    71 Sat Apr 05 19:48:40 IDT 2008 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
   383 Sat Apr 05 19:48:04 IDT 2008 foo/DateAdapter.java
   701 Sat Apr 05 19:48:10 IDT 2008 foo/DateAdapter.class

I've also created a special binding file my_bind.xml:

<bindings xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" version="2.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <globalBindings>
    <javaType name="java.util.Date" xmlType="xs:dateTime"
      parseMethod="foo.DateAdapter.parseDate"
      printMethod="foo.DateAdapter.printDate"
    />
  </globalBindings>
</bindings>

and finally my ant build file:

<project name="Bozaglo" default="create-client" basedir=".">

	<taskdef name="wsimport" classname="com.sun.tools.ws.ant.WsImport"/>

	<property name="src" value="src"/>
	<property name="client" value="client"/>

	<target name="create-client">
		<mkdir dir="${client}"/>
		<wsimport wsdl="http://localhost:8080/Phonebook2/PhoneEntryFetcher?wsdl" destdir="${client}" binding="my_bind.xjb">
			<xjcarg value="-classpath"/>
			<xjcarg value="classes.jar"/>
		</wsimport>
		<jar jarfile="${client}.jar" basedir="${client}"/>
	</target>

	<target name="clean">
		<delete dir="${client}"/>	
	</target>

</project>

Notice that I pass classes.jar as xjc JAXB argument.

however when I run the ant build file I get the following error:

D:\Temp>ant
Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED

As you can see it doesn't find package foo, however if I specify the wsimport ant task not to compile
the files by using the xnocompile="true" attribute and then compile it myself it all works properly.

It seems to me that wsimport doesn't find classes.jar in the classpath, why does it happen and how do I fix
it?

Thanks :)

PS
I'm using jdk1.6.0_05 and JAX-WS RI 2.1.3 and ant-1.7.0
