That is how I dealt with it. You are running up against a fundamental brick wall when you do what you are trying to do, which is to treat XML and OO Design as essentially equivalent...which they are obviously not.
Just like there is a "O-R Impedance", there is a I "O-X" Impedance and perhaps a third "R-X Impedance". Castor is just trying to do its best to map between the three worlds of Object, Relational and XML. No matter how much you try, these worlds will *never* be exactly mapped. Hence, the simplistic word "impossible". Just think about it. If we do it you way, then we probably will have disambiguate every single child class of every since castor class all the way down to java.lang.object! This would obviously be a fools errand. That is why we need to use some tricks like using different packages if you must or, even more simple, just using different names if you can. -----Original Message----- From: niestadt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 10:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [castor-user] RE: Generator trips over different elements with same name Why would it be impossible? The schema says that "shape" can appear under "object2D" or "object3D", and it specifies exactly what the valid options are in either case. There's no ambiguity; Castor could refer to either object2D_shapeType or object3D_shapeType in every case, but instead it refers to a non-existent class "ShapeType". I mean, the generated code produces compile errors (In this case, "unresolved class ShapeType"), how is that not a bug? But thanks for your answer, maybe it would work with different namespaces.. Unfortunately I don't really have much control over the schema I'm using, so I can't really introduce lots of new namespaces without breaking other stuff.
