I am trying to learn about jax-ws and created a simple Bottom-Up HelloWorld webservice in order to train myself:
import org.jboss.annotation.ejb.LocalBinding;
import javax.ejb.Remote;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;
@WebService(serviceName = "HelloWorldWebServiceExperiment",
portName = "HelloWorldPort",
name = "HelloWorld")
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT,
use = SOAPBinding.Use.LITERAL,
parameterStyle = SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.WRAPPED)
@Stateless
@Remote
@LocalBinding(jndiBinding = "training.webservice.HelloWorldWebServiceRemote/local")
public class HelloWorldWebServiceBean {
private static final String HELLO_WORLD = "Hello World";
@WebMethod
public String helloWorld() {
return HELLO_WORLD;
}
}
When I deploy this webservice I can access the wsdl, so that seems to work fine. Then I tried to generate a webservice client. And to do so I needed to create stubs, which I tried to create with the maven plugin jaxws-maven-plugin. Here is my pom.xml:

EDIT (for precision): When I try use the stub archive in another project to create a webclient, (i do this with intellij idea), idea automatically finds the file from my maven repository and suggests it to me, generating the following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>training.webservice</groupId>
<artifactId>HelloWorldWebServiceExperiment</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT-wsclient</version>
</dependency>
however none of the genereated .java files can actually be imported and used in code! E.g. idea fails on usage or import
import training.webservice.HelloWorld;
private training.webservice.HelloWorld helloWorld;
with the error message "Cannot resolve symbol 'HelloWorld'" What am I doing wrong? Is this connected to the fact that my stub only contains .java files, but no .class files? Obviously the plugin jaxws-maven-plugin runs wsimport with the -xnocompile flag, but I haven't been able to figure out how to configure maven not to do that, none of the options keep, destDir or sourceDestDir have had any effect on that! Or is this completely irrelevant, as the project importing the stubs should be able to compile them itself and the problem is somewhere else? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
