I ran into this exact problem while authoring the Castor Live book
and I've found a partial way around it. XML Schema supports
documentation and the Source Generator will will carry this
documentation through to the generated code. Below is a small example
of an XSD containing XDoclet tags:
<element name="book" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<annotation>
<documentation>
@castor.class name="com.sourcebeat.castorlive.sample.model.Book"
id="book-id" table="book"
</documentation>
</annotation>
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="title" type="string">
<annotation>
<documentation>
@castor.field type="string"
@castor.field-sql name="title" type="varchar"
@castor.field-xml name="title" node="attribute"
</documentation>
</annotation>
</element>
...
<element name="author" type="author">
<annotation>
<documentation>
@castor.field type="com.sourcebeat.castorlive.sample.model.Author"
@castor.field-sql name="author"
@castor.field-xml name="author" node="element"
</documentation>
</annotation>
</element>
I haven't gotten this completely working yet. I still need to finish
this because I want to include this in the Castor Live book.
As a side note, just this morning I hit a point where I need to
extend the Castor support in XDoclet so that it covers everything
in the mapping descriptor. The current version of XDoclet only
supports Castor JDO, it doesn't support Castor XML.
