Re: [castor-dev] Please Help: Unmarshalling with xsi:type

[Lars Klose]

Hi Keith :-)

I'm using org.exolab.castor.builder.javaclassmapping=type setting. Should this 
have any influence on how the unmarshalling works for xsi:type constructs?

The *Descriptor classes are all compiled (I'm sure because I'm using them at 
several places in my code, too).

Can you (or anybody else) tell me if the way I expect this to work is ok or if 
there is a general flaw in the way I expect the xsd:anyType/xsi:type stuff to 
work?

Lars.

Hi Lars,

Are you using "type" or "element" centric bindings?

Also have you compiled all the *Descriptor.java classes?

_Any_ small advice or pointer to relevant information would be appreciated...
I have a schema like the following which uses anyType elements ("content")
because at that place different elements (of types defined in an include) may
occur:
    <xsd:element name="messagelist">
        <xsd:complexType>
            <xsd:sequence>
                <xsd:element name="message"
                             minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
                    <xsd:complexType>
                        <xsd:sequence>
                            <xsd:element name="sender" type="xsd:string"/>
                            <xsd:element name="content" type="xsd:anyType"/>
                            <xsd:element name="sequence-number"
                                         type="xsd:integer"/>
                        </xsd:sequence>
                    </xsd:complexType>
                </xsd:element>
            </xsd:sequence>
        </xsd:complexType>
    </xsd:element>
One possible "content" element is (using a complex type "tSpecialContentOne"):

    <xsd:element name="specialContentOne" type="tSpecialContentOne"/>

When I generate Code for the schema and marshal objects I get something like
this (namespace prefixes omitted):
<messagelist>
    <message>
        <sender>mySender</sender>
        <content xsi:type="specialContentOne">
            ...
        </content>
        <sequence-number>17</sequence-number>
    </message>
    ...
</messagelist>
This is ok for me, *but*: I'm not able to unmarshal this back with objects of
class TSpecialContentOne - I only get AnyNode objects instead for each
"content" element!?
Maybe I'm missing something here?
Any help appreciated...
Lars.
