Hi All,
Basically I am trying to represent java.util.HashMap as a schema
definition assuming it can contain only java.lang.String as key and
java.lang.String as value. Now I have 2 questions here :
1. Can anyone please tell me the difference between below 2 types of
code specifically what does <extension base="xsd:string"> mean really
?
code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<element name="hash-map"> <complexType> <sequence>
<element
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"
name="entry"> <complexType>
<attribute name="key"
type="xsd:string"/> </complexType>
</element> </sequence> <attribute
name="size" type="xsd:int"/> </complexType></element>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<element name="hash-map"> <complexType> <sequence>
<element
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"
name="entry"> <complexType>
<simpleContent> <extension
base="xsd:string">
<attribute name="key"
type="xsd:string"/> </extension>
</simpleContent>
</complexType> </element> </sequence>
<attribute
name="size" type="xsd:int"/> </complexType></element>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Say my WSDL contains one of the above schema definitions for
java.util.HashMap, then why does a .NET client cannot consume such a
wsdl and why would there be any Java - .NET Interropability problems
as long as both client and server adhere to a schema contract such as
above for representing java.util.HashMap java collection class ?
Please suggest ...
Thanks & Regards,
