I'll admit I had to think about this for awhile before I came up with an answer. And I *think* it's the answer that we want. That <xs:element> declaration at the top level is telling us that an element whose tag is "Resource" can occur at top level, but that it's class is ResourceType. So we do not need to generate a Resource class, only a ResourceType class. Take a look at the parse() function in the generated code. You will notice that it is trying to parse an element whose tag is "Resource" and turning it into a instance of the Python class ResourceType, which is what we want, I believe. So, it's generating what you want, I think, or at least it's generating what the testschema.xsd says you want. It's generating Python code and Python classes (data bindings) that will parse an XML instance document containing a "Resource" element at top level and will turn that top level element into an instance of class ResourceType. In general, we generate Python classes for xs:complexType declarations, but not for xs:element declarations. Please let me know if you disagree or have more questions. - Dave -- Dave Kuhlman http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ generateds-users mailing list generateds-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/generateds-users
