Hm, I
see what you're saying, but it can't work the way you want, unfortunately,
because when you validate or data bind an instance of the union, the type
assigned to it must be one of the member types of the union. Suppose we have two
enumeration types Enum1 and Enum2 and Union a union between the two. Then, an
instance of Union must either be an instance of Enum1 or an instance of Enum2,
depending upon the value. Therefore (in Java) the Union class must be a
superclass of both Enum1 and Enum2 (to be able to represent values of both
types), so it can't be an enumeration itself.
You
can enforce usage of the enumeration values by turning
XmlOptions.setValidateOnSet on and you can of course use the String constants
generated for you in the two enumeration classes. The only thing that you'll
lack is compile-time checking.

Subject: problems with union of 2 enumerations.Hi all!We have created two enumerations and a third simpleType consisting of a union of these 2, hoping that XMLBeans would create an enum with all enumeration values from both types available in our union type.. unfortunately this union type only gets setStringValue / setObjectValue methods and not any set( Enum ..) method(s).. (we're using 1.0.4)not a big problem really, just wondering if there is any solution or workaround available, it would be nice to enforce usage of enumeration values..regards!/Ole
