Peter Keller commented on XMLBEANS-567:
---------------------------------------

Many thanks for that, it is really helpful, but I am now hitting the second 
problem that the OP reported, which still persists. I have uploaded a second 
test case (xmlbeans-ie-tryout2.tar) where the interface extension now looks 
like this:

{{package mypackage;}}
{{import java.util.List;}}
{{public interface CustomerFoo {}}
{{String getFoo();}}
{{List<String> getFoos();}}
{{}}}

Even though the interface handler imports {{{}java.util.List{}}}, the build 
test case now fails with:

{{Time to build schema type system: 0.942 seconds}}
{{Time to generate code: 0.078 seconds}}
{{/home/pkeller/Projects/Workflow/xmlbeans-upgrade/xmlbeans-ie-tryout2/build/java/com/example/easypo/impl/CustomerImpl.java:36:
 error: cannot find symbol}}
{{public List<String> getFoos() {}}
{{^}}
{{symbol: class List}}
{{location: class CustomerImpl}}
{{1 error}}

{{BUILD FAILED}}

Declaring the handler method with the fully qualified name as:

{{public static java.util.List<String> getFoos(XmlObject xo) {}}
{{...}}
{{}}}

This is of course sortable, but in my case that is a lot of code that will need 
changing to allow me to upgrade from XMLBeans 3.1.0. Is this how it is meant to 
be?

> Hello! In our project we are using [XMLBeans Extension Interfaces 
> Feature|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/XMLBEANS/ExtensionInterfacesFeature].
>  When we compile the TypeSystem (using {{SchemaTypeSystemCompiler.compile}}), 
> we add the jar with our extension classes to classpath parameter. In XMLBeans 
> 2.4 it works perfectly. But when we updated to XMLBeans 5.0.0, we encountered 
> the following error during an extensions validation:
> {code}
> Interface 'SomeInterface' not found."
> {code}
> As far as I understand, this is because 
> {{org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.config.Parser}} does not search classes in 
> classpath (only in files). 
> When we added the sources of the extension interface to the parameters, 
> TypeSystem compiled successfuly. But then we ran into another problem. When 
> XMLBeans generates java files from XSD, it uses simple class names (instead 
> of fully qualified names as it was in XMLBeans 2.4.0) for the classes that 
> are used in methods of the extension interface (like parameters types or 
> return types). And therefore the geneted files cannot be compiled if the 
> extension classes are in a different package.
> Are those changes (ingorning classpath when searching for extenstions  and 
> using simple names for extenstion classes in code generation instead of fully 
> qualified names) were made intentionally? Such limitations are hard to work 
> around, making an upgrade from older XMLBeans version very complicated.
