Hi Justin,
Working on gtxml encoding and now parsing I guess I've found a design
limitation, though it can well be a limitation on my brain.
Problem is I'm not being able of encoding non complex (in the nesting sense)
elements with xml attributes.
Say I have to encode gml:name but it needs the codeSpace attribute:
<gml:name codeSpace="myuri">value</gml:name>
This kind of encodings are generally made through a SimpleBinding, which, by
one side, have no getProperty() method which could be used to retrieve the
attribute values, and by the other side, SimpleBinding.encode() is expected to
return an String and does not recieves the Element it is going to be encoded
at, so it is not possible to set the attributes in the encode() implementation.
Moreover, the Encoder seems to never try to encode the attributes when it is a
SimpleBinding.
By trying to overcome this limitation, I've made a custom binding for
xs:anySimpleType, which is a ComplexBinding instead of a SimpleBinding. It was
working alright for encoding, as that way I can set the attributes inside
encode().
The problem arises when I send a HTTP POST GetFeature request, since it uses
the parser to build the request object, then ParseExecutor fails with a
ClassCastException at line 132, trying to cast an AttrtibuteImpl to an
ElementInstance.
Hope I'm making some sense, in any case, feel free to contact me through im as
soon as you have a chance.
regards,
Gabriel
