In one of my projects I have the problem that I have to call a web service, where the namespace prefixes are fixed and checked at server side. To my knowledge this is not in any way xml nor "webservice" compliant. Never the less, the server implementation won't change - so I am stuck with sending fixed prefixes for specific namespaces. Since I am using axis2 (1.4.1) with JAXB as framework, I was wondering if there is a way to specify the prefix for a namesapce for an axis webservice client.

Thanks!

Last, but not least, ... I found a solution for the problem:

You can define a custom namespace mapping @ the jaxb marshaller by adding the property 'com.sun.xml.bind.namespacePrefixMapper' to the marshaller.

For a custom namespace prefix mapper you can just extend the existing abstract class 'com.sun.xml.bind.marshaller.NamespacePrefixMapper' and override the method 'getPreferredPrefix' :).

  • First: Thanks :)! Unfortunatly it did not solve my problem - the result was, that I had the namespace defined twice...with different prefixes, and the wrong one was used. Now I fixed the problem by using com.sun.xml.bind.marshaller.NamespacePrefixMapper when marshalling the JAXBElement :). – DXTR66 Jul 13 '11 at 09:23
