Editing WSDL so that @XmlRootElement is created in generated class

Question

Given this WSDL file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8”?>
<wsdl: definitions targetNamespace="http://mycompany.net/request/“
   xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
   xmlns:tns="http://mycompany.net/request/“
   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
   xmlns:wsd="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
   xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/">

<xsd: complexType name=“MyReq”>
   <xsd: complexContent>
      <xsd: extension base="jisi: ServiceRequest">
         <xsd: sequence>
            <xsd: element name=“…” type="tns: …” minOccurs="O" nillable="true" />
             // more elements defined
         </xsd: sequence>
      </xsd: extension>
   </xsd: complexContent>
</xsd: complexType>

<xsd: element name=“MyRq" type="tns: MyReg" />

The following class is generated:

@XmLAccessorType (XmLAccessType.FIELD)
@XmLType (name= “MyReq”, namespace=“"http://mycompany.net/request/“ propOrder={
       …
       })

public class MyReq extends ServiceRequest {
   …
}

An ObjectFactory class is also generated which contains a method createMyRq. This returns an instance of the MyReq class wrapped in a JAXBElement.

Our existing application passes the JAXBElement wrapper to a WebServiceTemplate. I am trying to migrate to WebFlux, and replace WebServiceTemplate with the reactive WebClient. I have not got this to work using JAXBElement, and indeed the examples I have seen which use SOAP with WebClient wrap the request object in a Soap Envelope, not a JAXBElement.

For example: https://github.com/danielyinanc/spring-guides/blob/master/soap-service/src/main/java/io/spring/guides/gs_producing_web_service/GetCountryRequest.java,

When I wrap the generated MyReq object in a SOAP envelope, an error is returned that the request class is not annotated with @XmlRootElement.

I tried to fix this by editing the WSDL and wrapping the complexType in an element, as follows:

<xsd: element name=“MyReq”>
   <xsd: complexType>
      <xsd: complexContent>
         <xsd: extension base="jisi: ServiceRequest">
            <xsd: sequence>
             ...
            <xsd: sequence>
        </xsd: extension>
      <xsd: complexContent>
    <xsd: complexType>
 </xsd: element>

but the complier complains on this line

<xsd: element name=“MyRq" type="tns:MyReg" />

that it cannot resolve tns:MyReg

I cannot just delete that line, because MyRg is used in other parts of the WSDL, as follows:

<wsdl: message name=“myReq”>
   <wsdl: part name="request" element="tns:MyRg" />
</wsdl:messages

Is there a way to change the WSDL so that the generated MyReq class is annotated with @XmlRootElement?

Thanks
