Help in Converting JAXB schema to XMLBeans schema

[Jun Victorio]

Hi there,   I’m new in using xmlbeans and xml schema.  We are trying to migrate an existing application that uses jaxb to xmlbeans.  The current application uses jaxb 1.6 version.  I have several questions regarding specific jaxb custom binding extensions that are used and try converting this to xmlbeans standard.   JAXB version:       <xsd:element name="AvailabilityResponse">                   <xsd:complexType>                               <xsd:sequence>                                           <xsd:element ref="ResponseItem" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">                                                       <xsd:annotation>                                                                   <xsd:appinfo>                                                                               <jxb:property name="responseItems"/>                                                                   </xsd:appinfo>                                                       </xsd:annotation>                                           </xsd:element>                               </xsd:sequence>                   </xsd:complexType>       </xsd:element>   How would you define this is xmlbeans schema format.  Since I can not use the “jxb:property name=…”   JAXB version:             <xsd:element name="Day" type="xsd:date" minOccurs="0">                         <xsd:annotation>                                     <xsd:appinfo>                                                 <jxb:property generateIsSetMethod="true"/>                                     </xsd:appinfo>                         </xsd:annotation>             </xsd:element>               Is there any corresponding xmlbeans extension for “jxb:property generateIsSetMethod=”true”/>” or attributes?   JAXB version: <xsd:element name="BrandID" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">                         <xsd:annotation>                                     <xsd:appinfo>                                                 <jxb:property name="brandIDs" collectionType="indexed"/>                                     </xsd:appinfo>                         </xsd:annotation>             </xsd:element>               Again is there any corresponding xmlbeans extension for: “<jxb:property name="brandIDs" collectionType="indexed"/>”   JAXB version:       <xsd:simpleType name="PartNumberConstants">                   <xsd:annotation>                               <xsd:appinfo>                                           <jxb:typesafeEnumClass/>                               </xsd:appinfo>                   </xsd:annotation>                   <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">                               <xsd:enumeration value="INTERNAL"/>                               <xsd:enumeration value="SKU"/>                               <xsd:enumeration value="UPC"/>                   </xsd:restriction>       </xsd:simpleType>         What’s the correponding xmlbeans extensions for: “<jxb:typesafeEnumClass/>” or is xmlbeans already has type safe enumeration build-in when you define an enumeration?   JAXB version:       <xsd:annotation>                   <xsd:appinfo>                               <jxb:globalBindings fixedAttributeAsConstantProperty="true" collectionType="java.util.ArrayList"/>                               <jxb:schemaBindings>                                           <jxb:package name="com.starcomsoft.growernetwork.binding.availability"/>                               </jxb:schemaBindings>                   </xsd:appinfo>       </xsd:annotation>         I don’t understand the meaning of “<jxb:globalBindings fixedAttributeAsConstantProperty="true" collectionType="java.util.ArrayList"/>”.  I’ve read the JAXB tutorial and still don’t fully grasp the meaning of this one.  From what I know it looks like when an element is an enumeration/sets the generated Java classes will return an instance of ArrayList instead of array[].  Is there any corresponding xmlbean extension/attributes or custom binding for it?   JAXB version:       <xsd:simpleType name="CustomDate">                   <xsd:annotation>                               <xsd:appinfo>                                           <jxb:javaType name="com.starcomsoft.growernetwork.connect.messaging.CustomDate" parseMethod="fromString" printMethod="toString"/>                               </xsd:appinfo>                   </xsd:annotation>                   <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">                               <xsd:length value="10"/>                               <xsd:pattern value="\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}"/>                   </xsd:restriction>       </xsd:simpleType>     This one jaxb provides a custom binding for a type “CustomDate” and will call the custom java class handler to process the data.  How would I implement this in xmlbeans?     Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated and also thank you in advance for all your help.   Jun Victorio
