Peter-Paul, You can use XmlObject.Factory.parse() if you don't know the type of the message beforehand. The runtime type of the resulting object will be that of the class associated with the document, as determined by looking at the root element (as long as the appropriate scomp-generated jar is on the classpath). You can then use instanceof to check what the returned class was or get back the SchemaType using XmlObject.schemaType() (which you can then check using '==' against some known types).

Hi All, Perhaps anyone can help me with the following. I have several XML messages definitions to process. To parse the file with XMLBeans I have to know what message it is beforehand. Example: Here I know that it's a MCCIMT000100HT02MessageDocument, so I use that class to parse the inputFile. MCCIMT000100HT02MessageDocument document = MCCIMT000100HT02MessageDocument.Factory.parse(inputFile); But what Class should I use when I don't know yet the XML message definition of the inputFile? Can XMLBeans decide for me what Class to use? How can I check what type the inputFile is and what class to use to parse it with? Thanks for any hints, tips or suggestions.
