Any approaches for KTOR Client to ser/der XML data utilizing JAXB java based framework ?

Hey, you can write a custom serializer for ContentNegotiation plugin: https://ktor.io/docs/serialization.html#implement_custom_serializer

I have a similar usecase, we used Apache cfx to create Jaxb classes from wsdl files in the past. But instead using jaxb I wrote a wsdl Ktor/Kotlinx code generator.

Cool I take it it's not OSS
right thats from a WSDL we only have XSD.

Also for CXF you could have implemented all your Services Impl in Kotlin as other generated stubs could have been JAVA 👍. As all generated code should never been in source code. That's Just how I typically approach this :)

Thank you @e5l

It’s not yet open source but I plan to release it. While we could rely on the generated service we don’t want to use the generated Java classes but Kotlin to reuse them on other Kotlin platforms, mostly JS.
