Hi there,
Let me first state that, wow, xmlbeans really rocks. I'm loving it.
Well done again Apache community.
I have two sets of schemas - each set relating to the separate
generation of xmlbean classes representing the xsds.
Both sets of generated classes are on my classpath.
In one set, I generate all of the classes required for the GML set of
schemas.
The other set comprises just one xsd that extends the GML schemas.
In the context of the GML schemas, I can use substitution groups just
fine e.g.
AbstractTimeSliceType abstractTimeSliceType = historyPropertyType
.addNewAbstractTimeSlice();
MovingObjectStatusType movingObjectStatusType =
(MovingObjectStatusType) abstractTimeSliceType
.substitute(new QName(
"http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2";,
"MovingObjectStatus"),
MovingObjectStatusType.type);
and I get the correct substitution.
However if I try and substitute something from my other schema (the
extensions to GML) e.g. if I use my own extension of
MovingObjectStatusType:
JourneyStatusType journeyStatusType = (JourneyStatusType)
movingObjectStatusType
.substitute(
new QName(
"http://www.classactionpl.com/gml/journeyFeatures/2.0";,
"JourneyStatus"),
JourneyStatusType.type);
then I get a ClassCastException i.e. the substitution isn't returning
the JourneyStatusType.
From the doco, in order for the operation to succeed, several
conditions must hold:
* the container of this type must be an element = TRUE
* a global element with the name newName must exist and must be in the
substition group of the containing element = TRUE i.e.:
<element
name="JourneyStatus"
type="journeyFeatures:JourneyStatusType"
substitutionGroup="gml:MovingObjectStatus"/>
* the newType type must be consistent with the declared type of the
new element = TRUE i.e.:
<complexType name="JourneyStatusType">
<complexContent>
<extension base="gml:MovingObjectStatusType">
...
</complexContent>
</complexType>
Is there a known limitation/issue with substituting an element in the
way I'm trying to i.e. substituting from a separate namespace?
Cheers,

P.S. I'm also happy if someone spots a mistake in what I'm doing above!
