[castor-dev] Abstract classes being genearted by SourceGenerator

[BEERS,NANCY (HP-NewJersey,ex2)]

Hi,

We are using the SourceGenerator class to generate classes from an XML
schema definition.

SourceGenerator is generating abstract classes (without the marshal()
methods) if we use a schema of the following format:

<s:schema elementFormDefault="qualified"
   targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/";
   xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
   xmlns:s0="http://tempuri.org/";>

        <s:complexType name="paymentType">
                <s:sequence>
                        <s:element name="currency" type="s:string" />
                        <s:element name="amount" type="s:integer" />
                        <s:element name="mode" type="s:string" />
                </s:sequence>           
        </s:complexType>

        <s:simpleType name="stateCode">
                <s:restriction base="s:string">
                        <s:length value="2" />
                </s:restriction>
        </s:simpleType>

        <s:complexType name="addressType">
                <s:sequence>
                        <s:element name="Name" type="s:string" />
                        <s:element name="Street" type="s:string" />
                        <s:element name="City" type="s:string" />
                        <s:element name="State" type="s0:stateCode" />
                        <s:element name="PostalCode" type="s:integer" />
                </s:sequence>
        </s:complexType>

        <s:complexType name="purchaseOrder">
                <s:sequence>
                        <s:element name="shipTo" type="s0:addressType" />
                        <s:element name="billTo" type="s0:addressType" />
                        <s:element name="shipDate" type="s:date" />
                        <s:element name="item" type="s:string" />
                </s:sequence>
        </s:complexType>

</s:schema>.

If we modify the schema as follows (basically wrapping each complexType tag
in and element tag), the classes are not abstract.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
  <xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/";
xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/";
xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";
xmlns:s0="http://tempuri.org/";
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/";
xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>
<xsd:element name="PaymentType">
   <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:sequence>
         <xsd:element name="currency" type="xsd:string" />
         <xsd:element name="amount" type="xsd:integer" />
         <xsd:element name="mode" type="xsd:string" />
      </xsd:sequence>      
   </xsd:complexType>
   </xsd:element>

   <xsd:simpleType name="StateCode">
      <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
         <xsd:length value="2" />
      </xsd:restriction>
   </xsd:simpleType>

<xsd:element name="AddressType">
   <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:sequence>
         <xsd:element name="Name" type="xsd:string" />
         <xsd:element name="Street" type="xsd:string" />
         <xsd:element name="City" type="xsd:string" />
         <xsd:element name="State" type="s0:StateCode" />
         <xsd:element name="PostalCode" type="xsd:integer" />
      </xsd:sequence>
   </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

<xsd:element name="PurchaseOrder">
   <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:sequence>
         <xsd:element name="shipTo" type="s0:AddressType" />
         <xsd:element name="billTo" type="s0:AddressType" />
         <xsd:element name="shipDate" type="xsd:date" />
         <xsd:element name="item" type="xsd:string" />
      </xsd:sequence>
   </xsd:complexType>
   </xsd:element>

    </xsd:schema>



Any idea why this is happening ? We really need to generate non-abstract
complex type classes.  
After looking at the SourceFactory.createSourceCode() method, I'm tempted to
just comment out the line that sets 
the abstract flag on the class, but I'm not sure what the ramifications of
this would be.

Any help is this area would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
