Re: xsd:choice (and WSDL2Java)

[Michael Thome]

Having just gone through a similar exercise: 1. I think the correct approach ought to be to attach the min/max attributes to the choice rather than to the sequence - e.g. you want a single sequence of any number of a choice of {and,or,not} elements, not any number of sequences of a single choice. 2. but: although both can be used perfectly fine with the expected documents and validation, wsdl2java appears to silently ignore min/max attributes on non-element declarations. 3. A search of Jira shows several relevant outstanding bugs: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-236 http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-600 Until fixed, I think the only way to work around the problem is by putting the min/maxOccurs on the elements, e.g: <complexType name="FilterList"> <sequence> <choice> <element name="and" type="query:AndFilter" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> <element name="or" type="query:OrFilter" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> <element name="not" type="query:NotFilter" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </choice> </sequence> </complexType> cheers,     mik Bill Keese wrote: It looks like WSDL2Java doesn't support xsd:choice for Axis 1.2. Can anyone confirm/deny this? I had a declaration like this: <complexType name="FilterList"> <sequence minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <choice> <element name="and" type="query:AndFilter"/> <element name="or" type="query:OrFilter"/> <element name="not" type="query:NotFilter"/> </choice> </sequence> </complexType> I expected the generated java code to look like this: class FilterList { Filters[] filters; } But instead it's a strange class like below. The problem w/the class below is that you can't have a FilterList containing two or more "and" nodes. public class FilterList implements java.io.Serializable { private jp.co.beacon_it.inicio.client.soap.schema.query.AndFilter and; private jp.co.beacon_it.inicio.client.soap.schema.query.OrFilter or; private jp.co.beacon_it.inicio.client.soap.schema.query.NotFilter not; ... }
