Right, the enumeration has element names. In the case where all the
types are different, there is no enumeration.
I guess I'm not against all the getter/setters. It's just that
internally, the java class maintains a separate pointer for each
object, rather than a single pointer, thus making it possible to store
multiple values inside a single choice node. See what I mean?

Hi Bill,
Interesting, so they create an enumeration with the possible
element names? I'm assuming it's element names because if it was actual
types that wouldn't help out in the case where two elements with
different names but the same type.
As far as adding all the getters/setters. I actually like them since
this eliminates the need for casting, though I do realize they can be
cumbersome at times without the getValue() method, which I definately
think we need to add.

Hello Keith,
I wanted to add my opinion on enhancing <choice> code generation.
...you need to have an if-then-else statement to check which value of
the choice has been set:
Castor could/should provide a more simple way of retrieving the value,
such as public Object getChoiceValue(); or something like that.
I agree. I expected that the java class for a choice type would ONLY
have a getValue() function, and maybe a getValueType() function. By the
way, the latter function is only necessary when the choice contains
multiple elements of the same type AND
org.exolab.castor.builder.javaclassmapping=type (in
castorbuilder.properties).
.NET essentially creates a getValue() and getValueType() function.
Here's the output for a list of nouns, where a thing is a person, place,
or thing
Public Class NounList
Public Items() As Object
Public ItemsElementName() As ItemsChoiceType
End Class
Public Enum ItemsChoiceType
person,
place,
thing
End Enum
