Hi, I am trying to generate the WS client jar directly from the @Webservice class(es).

Let's take this example :

   package com.example.maven.jaxws.helloservice;
   import javax.jws.WebService;
   @WebService
   public class Hello {
     public String sayHello(String param) {
     ;  return "Hello " + param;
     }
   }  

I can generate a war file and use glassfish to serve this webservice, and from there I can use the glassfish WSDL URL to generate the client sources.

What I am trying to do is to skip the glassfish part. From my maven project defining the webservice, I would like to use the jaxws-maven-plugin to create the client classes but I cannot find any way to specify the actual URL of the webservice.

It should be possible right?
