Kohsuke,
Thanks for the reply. I tried that and it still didn't quite do what I
need (although it does simplify my plug-in if that is my only recourse).
At the bottom of this message is a sample XSD. I generated it 3x:
1) Using JAXB 1.0.5
2) Using JAXB 2.0.3
3) Using JAXB 2.0.3 w/the globalBinding switch you mentioned
For completeness, I also specified the global binding
underscoreBinding="asCharInWord" for all three. Anyway, here are the
files that were generated for all three cases (I've omitted the
ObjectFactory classes and such for brevity):
1)
- Employee.java
- EmployeeInfo.java
- EmployeeInfo_Type.java
2)
- Employee.java
- EmployeeInfo_Type.java
3)
- Employee.java
- EmployeeInfo_Type.java
It's that "EmployeeInfo.java" interface that's generated by JAXB 1.x
that I'm trying to generate w/my plug-in (looks like it might come from
my "ref" element in the "Employee" type). Is there a switch or setting
that will give me that interface for all the generated classes? Thanks.
Contrived sample schema:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:complexType name="Employee">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="EmployeeInfo"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<!-- These would probably be in an external schema, perhaps as part
of a shared library -->
<xs:element name="EmployeeInfo" type="EmployeeInfo_Type"/>
<xs:complexType name="EmployeeInfo_Type">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="first-name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="last-name" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>

Right.

Actually, if you just need to do the old interface/impl style split, you
could just use the stock customization. <jaxb:globalBindings
generateValueClass="false"/>
I think Lexi addressed the rest of the questions.
