Axis POJO stripper. (Python recipe) by Chris Wolf
ActiveState Code (http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577533/)

This utility lets us use the 'wsdl2java' utility from Axis-1 to generate POJOs from the schema embedded in a WSDL. If we just want POJOs without the Axis marshalling/unmarshalling code, then this script will strip out the Axis code, leaving just the POJOs.

This utility lets us use the 'wsdl2java' utility from Axis-1 to 
generate POJOs from the schema embedded in a WSDL.  If we just want
POJOs without the Axis marshalling/unmarshalling code, then this
script will strip out the Axis code, leaving just the POJOs.

As of Axis-1.x, fortunately, all the Axis marshall/unmarshall code
is at the last part of the generated class files, so we can get away
with just truncating the file rather then truly parsing and performing 
an AST transformation. (i.e. don't need a real java parser)

The motivation for this script is to be able to have some way of generating POJOs from the embedded schema inside a WSDL. Most utilities that do this generate POJOs which contain additional code that performs XML data binding, i.e. marshal/unmarshalling code. What was needed were POJOs that are just plain beans without any XML data binding code or binding-specific annotations.

For this, the "wsdl2java" utility from the Axis-1.x project works well because as of Axis-1.x, fortunately, all the Axis marshall/unmarshall code is at the last part of the generated class files, so we can get away with just truncating the file rather then truly parsing and performing an AST transformation. (i.e. don't need a real java parser)
