XFire and Aegis is very old and currently deprecated. I was used for mapping SOAP webservices.
What is Aegis? (Usage of minOccurs, nillable, etc.)
http://cxf.apache.org/docs/aegis-21.html
Aegis default Xfire binding method, mapping XML to POJO

org.myapp.service.MyService.java
public Set<ClassroomAssignmentDto> getClassroomAssignmentsO80(final String calendarCode) throws WSException;
org.myapp.model.ClassroomAssignmentDto.java
public class ClassroomAssignmentDto implements Serializable {
private String sample1;
private Set<Boolean> sample2;
private javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar birthDate;
public String getSample1() {
return sample1;
}
public void setSample1(String sample1) {
this.sample1 = sample1;
}
public Set<Boolean> getSample2() {
return sample2;
}
public void setSample2(Set<Boolean> sample2) {
this.sample2 = sample2;
}
public javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar getBirthDate() {
return this.birthDate;
}
public void setBirthDate(java.util.Date d)
throws DatatypeConfigurationException {
XMLGregorianCalendar v;
if (d == null) {
v = null;
} else {
GregorianCalendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
c.setTime(d);
v = DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar(c);
}
this.birthDate = v;
}
}
Note that Aegis mapping files must be in the same package as the file it is mapping.
src/main/resources/org/myapp/model/MyService.aegis.xml
<method name="getClassroomAssignmentsO80">
<parameter index="0" mappedName="calendarCode"/>
<return-type mappedName="classroomAssignments" componentType="org.myapp.model.ClassroomAssignmentDto" />
</method>
src/main/resources/org/myapp/model/ClassroomAssignmentDto.aegis.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mappings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xfire.codehaus.org/schemas/1.0/mapping.xsd" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<mapping>

<method name="getSample2">
<return-type componentType="java.lang.Boolean" />
</method>
</mapping>
</mappings>
Notes
a) "xsd:date" requires: xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema",
the attribute type is defined as XMLGregorianCalendar, a setter converts from hibernate java.sql.Date
and the .war maven module needs the xfire-aegis dependency for the package org.codehaus.xfire.aegis.type.basic:
<!-- XFire Spring Support -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.xfire</groupId>
<artifactId>xfire-spring</artifactId>
</dependency>
<!-- XFire Aegis Binding [org.codehaus.xfire.aegis.type.basic.DateType] -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.xfire</groupId>
<artifactId>xfire-aegis</artifactId>
</dependency>
<!-- XFire Java 5 Module -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.xfire</groupId>
<artifactId>xfire-java5</artifactId>
</dependency>
If, eg, Oracle table has field type varchar(1) with values {null, "N", "Y"} for representing boolean values then it can be mapped by hibernate to a Java Bean attribute of type Boolean:
<sql-query name="qryGetClassroomAssignmentsO80">
<![CDATA[
SELECT
case my_field when 'N' then 0 when 'Y' then 1 else null end AS "studentTitleTransferedToFinal"
FROM sit_repos
]]>
<return-scalar column="studentTitleTransferedToFinal" type="boolean"/>
</sql-query>
XFire builds the web service client in five ways:
https://ofstack.com/Java/22664/xfire-builds-the-web-service-client-in-five-ways.html
Sample app: cat evaluationBoard
Having in pom.xml the dependency evalutation-metadata
// Declare singleton
AvaluacioService avaluacioClient;
// Method for obtaining the catEvaluationPort
/**
* Obtain catEvaluationPort for the WS of cat evaluation.
* @return The catEvaluationPort
*/
public AvaluacioService getAvaluacioClient() {
if (avaluacioClient == null) {
String uriAvaluacioService = "/avaluacio-ws/services/AvaluacioService";
String host = System.getProperty("host");
Service srvcModel = new ObjectServiceFactory()
.create(AvaluacioService.class);
XFireProxyFactory factory = new XFireProxyFactory(XFireFactory.newInstance().getXFire());
try {
avaluacioClient = (AvaluacioService) factory
.create(srvcModel, host + uriAvaluacioService);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
log.error(e.getMessage(),e);
}
}
return avaluacioClient;
}
