Hello Dennis,
thanks for your answer! :)
I was trying to find a way to avoid modifying the schema file (as it is
extremely large). What I did as a test was the following, I changed this
(Vehicle being the abstract type of ElectricCar and Bicycle):
<xs:complexType name="CarPark">
<xs:choice maxOccurs ="unbounded">
<xs:element ref="t:Vehicle"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
to this:
<xs:complexType name="CarPark">
<xs:choice maxOccurs ="unbounded">
<xs:element name="Vehicle" type="t:VehicleType"/>
<xs:element name="ElectricCar" type="t:ElectricCarType" />
<xs:element name="Bicycle" type="t:BycicleType" />
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
And after my changes I was able to set the specific types "ElectricCar" etc.
via stub methods, so I got what I wanted. But I don't know if that is what
you mean, however, I'll do a bit of research on your answer ;)
Greetings
Dennis
