Werner,
Thank you for the quick reply. I was thinking it is in the binding.xml or
castorbuilder.properties somewhere. I had gone through that section of the
reference guide the non-trivial example, and the pdf file. I guess I missed the
part about attributeBinding (I am assuming that is what you are pointing me
to). If that is the case I am still having trouble.
I think I am looking for a more generalized solution. The example I give,
topic_id, is just one of many attributes and elements with underscores in the
name. I would find it impractical to map each instance in binding.xml and I
would wager to guess my team would agree with me. I am not an xpath master,
maybe I can match on any attribute with an underscore, but then I would find it
hard to make the name camel case correctly.
I have started experimenting with attributeBinding and have not had much luck
so far. I found Jira #CASTOR-1117 with an example binding.xml using
attributeBinding. I have a piece of schema that looks like:
<xs:element name="widgets">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="widget" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="topic_id" type="xs:int" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
Now in my binding file I tried:
<attributeBinding name="@topic_id">
<member name="TopicId" />
</attributeBinding>
with no success. The memeber name still gets generated as getTopic_id. I have
also tried to move the complex type out of the element and then reference the
attribute as "complexType:cWidgets/@topic_id" like in the example with the same
result. Am I at least on the right track?
As a side note, I have been working with Castor for about a week now and I am
impressed at how easy it is to pick up and use. I would just like to get passed
this hurdle and another with multiple class generation when using <xs:include
/>, but that can wait for another day.
Thanks
Kurt

Subject: Re: [castor-user] Alternative name delimiters in schema
Hi,
how about using a binding file as explained at
http://castor.org/reference/html/xml.code.generator.html#xml.code.generator.custom.bindings
to override name resolution during code generation ?
Regards
Werner
