Re: [castor-user] [XML] how to force xsi:type="java:..."

[Michael Thome]

Thanks - once I realized that the java:whatever hack was castor-specific, I figured it was probably a lost cause. I suspect that the right thing to do is to backpatch old code to deal with my new data. Cheers,     -mik Stephen Bash wrote: Michael- Looking through the Marshaller code I don't see anyway to force xsi:type to be output.  There is probably some combination of tricks you can use to make all the "drop xsi:type" conditions false, but it didn't seem obvious to me how you would do that.  Looks like most of the time is spent seeing if the xsi:type can be avoided rather than if it should be put in.  Sorry.

The problem is that old code (using plain old introspection) is baffled by (b) and (c), so "unmarshals" the forms as AnyNode structure, whereas both old and new code are happy to use the java:classname variations.
