How to use JAXB autoInheritance for generated classes from WSDL?


I'm generating java classes from soap webservices wsdl.

The requests do not share a common interface, but I'd like them to implement one, or extend a common class.

Therefore I'm trying to use the xcj-plugin. The statement

<extraarg>-xjc-XautoInheritance-xmlRootElementsImplement=com.path.to.BaseInterface</extraarg>

should take care of this, and let all @XmlRootElement annotated classes automatically implement the defined BaseInterface.

But the generated classes are without that. No class is implementing this interface. Why? What might be wrong with the following configuration?
