[castor-user] please help me understand the binding file

[Alex Burmester]

So I'm comfortable using castor source generator and then using the 
generated classes to construct xml messages but I still feel like a moron 
when trying to do anything with the binding file.  I am trying to use the 
binding file to do things like avoid naming conflicts but it doesn't seem 
to do anything.  I have looked over the example binding file provided in 
the castor examples but while it seems to work it's not helping me get to 
the bottom of this:

My test case I'm using currently is as follows:
mytest.xsd contains
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://www.example.com"; 
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; elementFormDefault="qualified" 
attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
        <xs:include schemaLocation="mytypes.xsd"/>
        <xs:element name="user" type="createUser"/>
        <xs:complexType name="createUser">
                <xs:sequence>
                        <xs:element name="status" type="createStatus" 
minOccurs="0"/>
                </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>

mytypes.xsd contains
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://www.example.com"; 
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; elementFormDefault="qualified" 
attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
        <xs:complexType name="createStatus">
                <xs:sequence>
                        <xs:element name="id" type="xs:long"/>
                </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
        <xs:complexType name="updateStatus">
                <xs:sequence>
                        <xs:element name="id" type="xs:string"/>
                </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
 
mytest2.xsd contains
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://www.example.com"; 
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; elementFormDefault="qualified" 
attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
        <xs:include schemaLocation="mytypes.xsd"/>
        <xs:element name="user2" type="updateUser"/>
        <xs:complexType name="updateUser">
                <xs:sequence>
                        <xs:element name="status" type="updateStatus" 
minOccurs="0"/>
                </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>

bindingMytest.xml contains:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cbf:binding xmlns:cbf="http://www.castor.org/SourceGenerator/Binding";
             defaultBindingType='element'>
      
     <cbf:package>
          <cbf:name>test</cbf:name>
          <cbf:namespace>http://www.example.com</cbf:namespace>
     </cbf:package>
      
    <cbf:complexTypeBinding name="createUser/status">
        <cbf:java-class name="createStatus"/>
    </cbf:complexTypeBinding>
 
    <cbf:complexTypeBinding name="updateUser/status">
        <cbf:java-class name="updateStatus"/>
    </cbf:complexTypeBinding>
 
 </cbf:binding>

my generation commands look like:
java -classpath 
./../java/castor-0.9.5.3/castor-0.9.5.3-xml.jar:../../java/xerces-2_6_2/xercesImpl.jar 
org.exolab.castor.builder.SourceGenerator -verbose -i mytest.xsd 
-binding-file bindingMytest.xml -package mytest

java -classpath 
./../java/castor-0.9.5.3/castor-0.9.5.3-xml.jar:../../java/xerces-2_6_2/xercesImpl.jar 
org.exolab.castor.builder.SourceGenerator -verbose -i mytest2.xsd 
-binding-file bindingMytest.xml -package mytest

I still get the Status.java class generated which only extends 
CreateStatus and UpdateUser still uses the Status class

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Alex.
