The model is used to generate the Java source files. The source files are not the model so there are no attributes to use. > or why its > not defined via an XML schema? Castor, the tool from which I borrowed heavily for modello, was the only tool which could generate source from an XMLSchema at the time I started the effort but with m1's defective model making additions to the generated source were necessary and most generative systems have this feature but Castor didn't. So I took the java source generator from Castor and defined a simple model. It has worked fabulously for the better part of 6 months. Trygve, Brett, Emmanuel, and myself have all made additions to Modello and it's use will mean much better documentation as an XSD and xdoc can be generated from the model. -- jvz.
