Hi there, this is an extract from the castorbuilder.properties. Please can someone explain to me why javaclassmapping element and type get handled differently for simpleTypes when creating source.
# Java class mapping of <xsd:element>'s and <xsd:complexType>'s
#
#org.exolab.castor.builder.javaclassmapping=element
org.exolab.castor.builder.javaclassmapping=type
When I used javaclassmapping=element, the following schema extract worked as follows : I could generate a class Header which has a getSuite() method that returns an int. The source generator created a descriptor that validated the data (ie. suite could either be 40 or 39). Now that I am using javaclassmapping=type the source generator creates a descriptor type that only validates the data as an int and does not check that the data is also either 39 or 40.
<xs:element name="header">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="suite" type="SuiteType"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:simpleType name="SuiteType">
<xs:restriction base="SuiteSimpleType"/>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:simpleType name="SuiteSimpleType">
<xs:restriction base="xs:int">
<xs:enumeration value="39"/>
<xs:enumeration value="40"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
I am very confused by this change as I thought that they only handled the element and type differently, not also the simpleType. Please could someone give me a hand. I am lost.
Thanks
Jamie
