Hi,
If I have a type say Person and this is extended by another type Employee,
is there anyway to unmarhsall as a Person the XML produced by the Employee
helper class.
For example the Xsd would be;
<xsd:complexType name="Person">
<xsd:complexContent>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="firstName"
type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
<xsd:element name="lastName"
type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="Employee">
<xsd:complexContent>
<xsd:extension base="Person">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="employeeNumber"
type="xsd:long" minOccurs="0"/>
<xsd:element name="salary"
type="xsd:long" minOccurs="0"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:extension>
</xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>
The Xml produced by Employee would look something like;
<employee>
<firstName>Fred</firstName>
<lastName>Flintstone</lastName>
<employeeNumber>345</employeeNumber>
<salary>10000</salary>
</employee>
I want this XML to be read into a Person object ignoring the extra elements
(i.e. I don't want to have to first parse it into an Employee and then cast
back).
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brian.
