Cxf wsdl2Java: using binding file to rename a complextype

Sometimes there is need to rename a complextype from the wsdl when you use wsdl2java. For example if you want the generated code to be put in a specific package (-p option) and you do not want to use the '-autoNameResolution' option. Then the external bindings file comes to the rescue! Here is the file I have used to rename "VatNumber_Exception" into "VatNumException"

	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
	<jaxws:bindings xmlns:jaxws="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
	xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">
	<jaxws:bindings node="wsdl:definitions/wsdl:types/xsd:schema[1]">
	<jxb:bindings node="//xs:complexType[@name='VatNumber_exception']">
	<jxb:class name="VatNumException"/>
	</jxb:bindings>
	</jaxws:bindings>
	</jaxws:bindings>
