Hi,
I have an unexpected behaviour in app-schema mappings, when I have to deal
with an attribute declared as xs:anyType.
>From my understanding of the xs:anyType meaning, this can be mapped to
simple (xs:string, etc.) or complex types.
Currently if I map an xs:anyType attribute to an xs:string it doesn't get
encoded in the final GML3 document.

This is the mapping configuration:

    <AttributeMapping>
        <targetAttribute>
            lcv:landCoverObservation[1]/lcv:LandCoverObservation/lcv:class
        </targetAttribute>
        <targetAttributeNode>xs:string</targetAttributeNode>
        <sourceExpression>
            <OCQL>UCS2007</OCQL>
        </sourceExpression>
    </AttributeMapping>

lcv:class is declared in its xsd as xs:anyType.

As you can see I am explicity declaring xs:string as the target attribute
node type, and the app-schema mapping seems to work well with it. The
problem seems to be the encoder, that uses ComplexSupportXSAnyTypeBinding
to encode xs:anyType attributes.

This binding class currently only support ComplexAttribute objects, but
with my mapping the value is a simple String, so it doesn't get encoded at
all.

My idea is to change the encode method to:
 1) call super.encode(...) when the value is not a ComplexAttribute
 2) implement the encode method in the parent class (XSAnyTypeBinding) to
handle simple value encoding, something like:

    public Element encode(Object value, Document document, Element element)
throws Exception {
if (value != null) {
            Text text = document.createTextNode(Converters.convert(value,
String.class));
            element.appendChild(text);
        }
return element;
  }

In alternative I can do all the work in ComplexSupportXSAnyTypeBinding encode
method, without touching XSAnyTypeBinding.

Anyone with app-schema / complex types experience can give me an advice on
this?

Thanks
Mauro
