These are specified in > GMLSchema. Is this correct, or am I missing something? Yes, this is the default behaviour for complex types. However this is just a default... the intent is to change the type as you need it. So int his case we can change CodeType to be bound to the object we need... perhaps Name makes sense? Basically nothing that I know of on trunk relies on CodeType so we are free to change it as we see fit.

Indeed, the gml parsing only works against SimpleFeature, as with most other stuff on trunk. We may be able to change the binding to just Feature and have it continue to work... but i would have to check and run some tests to be sure. > > There are a lot of other changes, such as GML being an interface in > 2.4.x and a class extending XSD on trunk.

I believe the gml support moved to supported only on 2.5.x, so i did not spend much time documenting changes from 2.4.x. Apologies for that.. mostly just due to lack of time. -Justin > Kind regards, > -- Justin Deoliveira OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Enterprise support for open source geospatial. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Geotools-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geotools-devel
