How to create a maven project of type wsdl?

Hello Guys!

We have a history of mistakes when developing web service client and server side. We used to send the wsdl-files through email a lot during the development phase often ending up with confusion of which version is the latest.

Since we are a pretty big company we now a days got a internal maven-repo of our own where we are supposed to publish such things as wsdl.

Now it is our (my team) to create a new web service and of course we would like to expose our wsdl in our repo.

We already have a couple of maven projects:
our-new-interface-with-wsdl-and-generated-classes
our-new-web-service-facade (serverside)

We do not want to expose the project our-new-interface-with-wsdl-and-generated-classes since this got classes that might not be relevant to the client (I have heard, I guess if the client is a DOT-net, we use Java)

So now I need to figure out how to automatically create a maven project that got dependcy to our-new-interface-with-wsdl-and-generated-classes but just extract the wsdl is like:
      <groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
      <artifactId>our-new-wsd-interfacel</artifactId>
      <version>1.0.0</version>
      <type>wsdl</type>

    Do you guys got any experience of this approach?
Best regards

I don't understand the idea behind this.

Maven is for managing libraries used by the project - source code is managed via source control.

Maven is Java only.

Using Maven for distributing WSDL seems highly unusual and very problematic in a polyglot environment.

I can see a couple of better approaches:

1)

assuming "contract first" (server code also generated from WSDL)

WSDL is put in source control

static languages (Java, C# etc.) pull WSDL from source control and generate client classes in their build

dynamic languages (PHP, Python etc.) access WSDL at runtime and does everything dynamic

2)

assuming "code first" (WSDL generated from server code)

static languages (Java, C# etc.) access WSDL from test server and and generate client classes in their build

dynamic languages (PHP, Python etc.) access WSDL at runtime and does everything dynamic

3)

server team take on responsibility for client libs

static languages (Java, C# etc.) the server team generates client libs as part of their build and other projects use those
- Java client lib goes into Maven repo
- .NET client lib goes into NuGet repo

dynamic languages (PHP, Python etc.) access WSDL at runtime and does everything dynamic
