[castor-dev] SourceGenerator -- package mapping with IMPORT

[Brian Goetz]

Hi. I'm using Castor SourceGenerator, version 0.9.4.1. I want to break up my XSD file so that I have one package for generic types, and multiple other files, each in their own package, which can import them.

In this example, I have two XSD files, a.xsd and b.xsd. b.xsd defines a single simple type, bstring, which extends xsd:string. a.xsd defines a single element, which has an attribute of type b:bstring.

My files are below, two xsd files and a castorbuilder.properties file. Each gets mapped to their own package by the properties file. My question is this: when I run SourceGenerator on a.xsd, which references the type b:bstring, shouldn't the generated AElement.java file have this:

public com.b.types.Bstring getName()

instead of this:

public com.a.types.Bstring getName()
?

I thought that was the whole point of using import instead of include -- that you would reference a type from another schema, not suck that type into the current schema. But when I run SourceGenerator, it generates the Bstring type and descriptor in package com.a and references it from com.a, not com.b.

Am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to work? Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do, which is to generate classes that references the classes generated from the B schema?

Thanks!


a.xsd

<xsd:schema

<xsd:element name='a-element'>
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:attribute name='name' type='b:bstring' use='required'/>
</xsd:complexType>

b.xsd

castorbuilder.properties

getName method from AElement.java
---------------------------------

public com.a.types.Bstring getName()
{
return this._name;
} //-- com.a.types.Bstring getName()
