Thanks radu, could you give a a hint on the parameters/usage of that method please?

No, you don't have to iterate through your global elements with a cursor. The return type of .globalElements() is SchemaGlobalElement[] and so you simply iterate through the array and query each object for name and other things. Maybe I didn't understand the question. True, if you call .compileXsd() you wont' get the Java-style classes. But there is also a .compileXmlBeans() which in addition to doing what .compileXsd() does, will also generate the source Java files, but then it would be up to you to compile them and put them into an appropriate classloader to use. So it's possible.

I got there after playing the whole evening with the api. I still have one question, If I use the compileXsd() method, then I would have to iterate through my globalelements with a cursor right? There's no way to dinamically get the Java-style classes representing the schema types on runtime (i.e. classes like TryDocument with getElement/getElementArray() for elements/attributes)? thanks El mié, 22-11-2006 a las 13:36 -0800, Radu Preotiuc-Pietro escribió: > Javier, > > If you are creating an xml editor, then you are correct that you can't > expect to compile the Java classes for every Schema that your users > have. > > I think however that the approach of using .loadXsd() is not the best > in your circumstances.
