Without a short XML schema fragment, this will be hard to tell. So let's
try to be a bit more specific .. ;-).

PS I have been working quite recently with Java classes as generated
from the FpML 4.2 standard, where the instruments as described by you
are specified in great detail. When you generate classes from this XML
schema(ta), you get several hundred classes, and I have not seen any
problems, though a lot of 'extensions' are used.

Hello,
I have an XSD which defines a generic "Trade" (with some common elements)
In that XSD, I subclass TradeType into "Bond" and "Equity" (with trade
specific elements, inherited by "extension")
When I build the java Castor objects, I get the following methods:
getBond(index)
getBondCount
GetEquity(index)
getEquity(Count)
What I really want is a "getTrade(index)" and "getTradeCount()" which
give me everything for both Equity and Bond (and which I can cast into
Equity and Bond later)
As I add new subclassed trade types (ie, "Swap"), I'd like it so my code
doesn't have to change (everything is initially referred to as
"Trade"). Right now I have to loop through getBond and getEquity.
Any idea how to do this?
TIA -George
