RE: Default value support in java classes supported?

[Radu Preotiuc-Pietro]

You are very close. Keep in mind that defaults are not associated with types, but with elements/attributes. Other than that, once you use it in the context of an enclosing element, it should work like you expect. If you're still having trouble, could you post a code sample and we'll go from there?   Radu From: Paul Grillo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 3:04 PM To: user@xmlbeans.apache.org Subject: Default value support in java classes supported? I'm adding a field to a previous schema and am adding an element to an existing ComplexType at then end.  What i would like is that any code that begins using the generated classes will automatically generate the this ComplexType with the added simple element defaulting to a certain value.  That is, i don't want all previous users to have to go and change their code when i know what the default should be.   I figured i'd add the element in the following way.  I assumed that the default="E" would, in some way, get me what i want.  Well, if i instantiate the object and read the type, it is, of course null.   So, is there any way i can accomplish this?  Is there any way that i can add an element to a complex type and have the xmlbeans generated classes handle a default value for it?   thanks for any help.               <xs:element name="Type" default="E" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">                 <xs:annotation>                     <xs:documentation>Error Type, must be (E)rror, (I)nformational, (W)arning</xs:documentation>                 </xs:annotation>                 <xs:simpleType>                     <xs:restriction base="xs:string">                         <xs:enumeration value="I"/>                         <xs:enumeration value="E"/>                         <xs:enumeration value="W"/>                     </xs:restriction>                 </xs:simpleType>             </xs:element> _______________________________________________________________________ Notice: This email message, together with any attachments, may contain information of BEA Systems, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, that may be confidential, proprietary, copyrighted and/or legally privileged, and is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity named in this message.
