RE: good way of writing xs:any

thanks for an advice. It works, but I thought there's a nicer way to do it. This method makes me jump between object model and cursors, which is inconvinient.

 

thanks,

Argyn

Hello Argyn -- This is an area where you have to bypass the JavaBeans-style accessors generated by XMLBeans. Try using an XmlCursor instance to insert the element.

 

So, let's assume your schema defines a <status> element of StatusType that has a <statusdetail> element of type StatusDetailType as a child, and you want to insert a new <statusdetail> child. You might have something like this (er, roughly -- others jump in if I've got it wrong):

 

StatusType status = StatusType.Factory.newInstance();

XmlCursor cursor = status.newCursor();

cursor.toLastAttribute();
cursor.toNextToken();
// Begin a new <statusdetail> element whose namespace URI is the target URI of your schema (let's say http://openuri.org/).
cursor.beginElement("statusdetail", "http://openuri.org/");
// Insert "text of status detail" as an element value.
cursor.insertChars("text of status detail");

cursor.dispose();

 

This should give you something like:

 

<status xmlns="http://openuri.org">

    <statusdetail>text of status detail</statusdetail>

</status>

 

You might search the archives of this mailing list -- this question has been asked a few times, and you may find an answer in one of the other responses.

 

Also, see these topics in the docs for more on the cursor:

Subject: good way of writing xs:any

Here's a snippet of schema with xs:any element:

 

 <xs:complexType name="StatusDetailType">
  <xs:sequence>
   <xs:any namespace="##any" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
  </xs:sequence>
 </xs:complexType>

XMLBeans generates StatusDetailType without any any children manipulation methods. What's the right way of adding a child element to this element? My child element has Java class generated by XMLBeans too.

 

thanks,

Argyn
