Chris,
a few questions inline ....

hi
I guess the issue is that when I analyse the Descriptor for the
ArrayOfAccount object,
Can you show me how you are actually analysing the descriptor of
ArrayOfAccount ? And how would you wish to access the array type
information ?
... the descriptor gives no information about the
actual type of array element. So I have no programmatic means of
determining what the underlying type of element that is stored in the
ArrayOfAccount. All I can do with the ArrayOfAccountDescriptor is
obtain a XMLFieldDescriptor for anyObject - the holder in the
ArrayOfAccount instance itself that holds the array elements.
If I use wsdl2j in the Axis stuff, I do manage to get information about
the underlying array element type. This is a bit different in that the
ArrayOfAccount class object has a method that allows an instance to
return the contains elements - but using Java reflection you can find
out that the method returns an array of Account types, which is just fine.
So I am wondering how I can use Castor to programmatically determine the
type of the underlying array element when using array types in XSDs.
Ideally I want tofind ou tthat the ArrayOfAccount object holds elements
of type Account. Now when castor parses the xsd file, it correctly
creates Array class objects - just straight >from the schema. I am just
trying to write some code that allows me to take a top level schema type
def and 'walk' the hierarchy of nested types.
Any clues? Am I explaining my self well enough?
I think I have got the problem now ... ;-). Just out if curiosity, in
what way are you using Castor to request such a feature to be aded,
given that the code generator seems to be generating code that is not
sufficient for your needs.
thanks
chris

Re: [castor-user] Schema arrays, arrayTypes and Java Source code
generation
Hi Christopher,
I am not sure I fully understand the problem .. :-(. Do you have
problems with e.g. unmarshalling, using the classes generated by
Castor's code generator ? Or am I mis-reading something completely ?
