  When generating JAX-WS code using the web service or client
  wizards in IBM Rational Application Developer the wsimport
  tool encounters a compilation error due to being unable to
  find a class even when the class does exist in the
  workspace. This can occur when specifying custom JAXB
  binding files to use existing classes in the workspace as
  JAXB binding values.
  
  This issue is caused by the wsimport compiling the generated
  java code outside of the workspace in a temporary directory.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compilation done by wsimport is redundant since the
  generated code is compiled once copied into the workspace.
  
  To fix this the JAX-WS wizards were changed to pass in
  "-Xnocompile" option to the wsimport tool.
  
  The fix for this issue is included in Rational Application
  Developer version 8.0.3.
