Hi All,
I have some doubts on extension mappings.
Say I have below binding.xml taken from JiBX tutorials:
<binding>
<mapping class="example10.Identity" abstract="true">
<value name="cust-num" field="customerNumber"/>
</mapping>
<mapping name="person" class="example10.Person">
<structure map-as="example10.Identity"/>
<value name="first-name" field="firstName"/>
<value name="last-name" field="lastName"/>
</mapping>
<mapping name="company" class="example10.Company"
extends="example10.Identity">
<value name="name" field="name"/>
<value name="tax-id" field="taxId"/>
<structure map-as="example10.Identity"/>
</mapping>
<mapping name="customer" class="example10.Customer">
<structure field="identity"/>
<value name="street" field="street" usage="optional"/>
<value name="city" field="city" usage="optional"/>
<value name="state" field="state" usage="optional"/>
<value name="zip" field="zip" usage="optional"/>
<value name="phone" field="phone" usage="optional"/>
</mapping>
</binding>
Now, both example10.Person and example10.Company extend their parent
class example10.Identity and for person mapping I didnt use any
extends attribute and for company mapping I used extends attribute.
My doubt is I dont find any difference in the final xml created by
this type of mappings. So what exactly extends attribute make
difference in the final xml that we try to make ? Please suggest ?
Thanks & Regards,
Kumar.
