Keith,
Thanks for the reply. My problem is that I thought that the
SourceGenerator would check the restrictions in the schema and generate
the appropriate code to make sure that data set to the bean is valid.
So when it is actually marshalled (and validated), there would be no
problems. For instance, if I have a java variable (double javaPrice)
set to 478.123456789, and then use the set method of the bean, it will
be mapped to a BigDecimal, and it will keep the precision. So when it
gets marshalled, it will be invalid since it's too long.
But I was under the assumption that the restriction base in the schema
would signal to the SourceGenerator to create code to truncate (or
round) it to 2 decimal places, thus avoiding any future validation
errors. Otherwise, it seems to me that you can't use the xsd:decimal
type when generating the code unless it's mapped to String types, or if
you write all the type checking yourself and check the value before you
set the bean. I'm still learning Castor, so I'm just not sure what to
expect out of the SourceGenerator.
Thanks
Tony
