Hi,
I'm using castor-0.9.4 to translate XML schema files to Castor Java
classes. Since the schemas I'm using are somewhat complex, I sought a
way to integrate translation and real code generation with my usual ANT
tool. Therefore, I developed an ANT build.xml file that does just that.
I'll append it to this mail.
Furthermore, I have seen some problems with the SourceGenerator ( e.g.
problems with different elements having the same name; missing package
indications when using non-trivial element content [ see previous mail ]
), that must be patched in the source files before compiling with javac.
Therefore, I have included a patch mechanism in the build.xml that will
allow for such changes. To use that mechanism, I translate the XML
schema with the SourceGenerator, transfer all relevant generated source
files into directory patch, do whatever changes are needed, and
translate/compile the whole stuff again. As soon as there are some files
in directory patch, they will be copied onto the generated source files,
before javac will compile the complete stuff.
The directory structure needed for the build.xml is as follows
classes ==> base dir for generated .class files
my ==>
package ==> dir structure according to the
package struct
xml ==>
patch ==> directory patch with putative patch
files
MySchema.xsd ==> the schema
build.xml ==> the ANT build.xml file
MyTest.java ==> any number of own classes
I hope, this will be of some use. Maybe, there are extensions possible
to it. Please feel free to introduce them. Just drop me a mail, so that
I can update myself :-)
Best regards,
Kurt Spanier
