RE: [castor-user] Base attribute on xsd elements

[Jason]

second sentence needed to be more clear, sorry   I have defined and xsd element name <user> to contain a sequence of elements named <view>. I set the <view>’s type attribute to myType. When Castor generates the java code it created the class View which extends class MyType. Castor also creates the class UserDescriptor. The UserDescriptor class contains a addView(View v) method; why did Castor not use the base class MyType as the parameter data type for the addView method?   From: Jason [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:49 AM To: user@castor.codehaus.org Subject: [castor-user] Base attribute on xsd elements   I have defined and xsd element name ‘user’ to contain a sequence of elements named ‘view’.
