that's only fair. I basically wanted to know how far XMLBeans would go to map Schema structures/types to Java types. Obviously for simple types such as string, integer,double, and so on there are pretty good mappings available, however for more complex structures such as all, choice, union, sequence (I wanted to consider the mapping of sequence to an Array as a good fit until i read your email), XMLBeans makes the best effort. I am in no position to list the mappings since my experience with XMLbeans is limited to running only one example. But i think i'm clear on the rationale now.
Jeff Saremi "Radu Preotiuc-Pietro" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/01/2008 06:37 AM Please respond to [email protected] To <[email protected]> cc Subject RE: XMLBeans handling of <choice> What Jacob says. I'd like to emphasize two things: 1. It's not desireable that XMLBeans prevents you from creating invalid content, here's why <complexType name="foo"> <sequence> <element name="a"/> <element name="b"/> </sequence> </complexType> If you start with an empty "foo" and add and "a", it's invalid because there's a "b" required. If you start by adding a "b", it's invalid because it's not preceded by an "a". So you're deadlocked. 2. XMLBeans gives you the ability to call 'validate' on an XmlObject without having to serialize it to XML, which is something that is, I believe, unique to XMLBeans. So I think you have the tools to create valid documents.

I'd like to know if the Java types produced by the generator corresponding to a <choice> type in a schema would PREVENT me from setting the member of an object to a combination of elements that the choice is declaring as mutually exclusive? Example includes the schema and the generated classes. In the example in a choice I have childA and childB. It looks like the implementation class for the containing element is agnostic to whether i set one or both of these children.
