Hi Dennis,

You can change your schema (assuming it's under your control) to use element substitution groups. With a substitution group, each element name can be tied to a specific extension of the base type.

I realize that if you're not schema-knowledgeable this suggestion may not make much sense directly, but hopefully it gives you a starting point for searching. :-)

Hello,

I'm using axis2 for stub-generation on a webservice.
I was wondering if it is possible to turn off the use of xsi:type for the type definition, to be a bit more specific consider the following example:

Let's say I have a "vehicle" definition which is an abstract type, and derived from this I have a car definition, now the generated stub will produce a request like the following:

<myRequest xmlns="myNamespace" xmlns:typ="anotherNamespace" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
  <sometag>
    <typ:Vehicle xsi:type="typ:Car">
        <typ:Engine xsi:type="typ:ElectricEngine"/>
    </typ:Vehicle>
  </sometag>
</myRequest>

But what I want, is to have it look like this:

<myRequest xmlns="myNamespace" xmlns:typ="anotherNamespace" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
  <sometag>
    <typ:Car>
        <typ:ElectricEngine/>
    </typ:Car>
  </sometag>
</myRequest>

Is it possible to configure the stub generation to create requests the way described above? Or is there some config parameter I can set? I'm neither a xml or webservice expert, so I'm sorry if I'm confusing some terms here, maybe I'm even posting on the wrong mailing list? (Maybe xmlbeans mailing list will be more appropriate?) :-)

Cheers,
Dennis
