Looking at the code I guess this is what's going on for classes have
the marker "* @org.apache.xbean.XBean"
- Setters should (!?) be marked with "* @org.apache.xbean.XBean"
- Getters may have no specific marker (but can like property), but are
taken for schema generation
- Other methods ... ?
As far as I can understand the way it works, here are some rules :
- if a class has a @org.apache.xbean.XBean tag in its header, then all
the public setters will be described in the XSD
- if you don't want a field to be seen, then you can add a
@org.apache.xbean.Property hidden="true" in the setter's header,
otherwise they will be automatically included.
I know nothing about inheritence, but AFAICT, it's enough to add the
@org.apache.xbean.XBean in the parent tag.
Thanks. Some more questions ...
- Is xbean _really_ used in apacheds or is it just there to try to generate the
schema using the annotations?
- What is meant by 'another bean I didn't convert'?
extract from server.xml:
<!-- another bean I didn't convert -->
<spring:bean
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomEditorConfigurer">
<spring:property name="customEditors">
<spring:map>
<spring:entry key="javax.naming.directory.Attributes">
<spring:bean
class="org.apache.directory.server.core.configuration.AttributesPropertyEditor"/>
</spring:entry>
</spring:map>
</spring:property>
</spring:bean>
- the root node of the server.xml (<spring:beans>) is completely missing in the generated schema. Does anybody has an
idea in which class the xbean annotation is missing for this?
Thanks
Felix
