My example is more complex:
<xsd:complexType name="ColumnTemplate">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:group ref="EntryTemplate"/>
<xsd:group ref="VariableValue"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attributeGroup ref="ColumnExtAttributeGroup"/>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="VariableTemplate">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:group ref="EntryTemplate"/>
<xsd:group ref="VariableValue"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="group" type="xsd:IDREF"/>
<xsd:attribute name="rows" type="PositiveShort"/>
<xsd:attribute name="max-access" type="MaxAccess"/>
<xsd:attribute name="show" type="xsd:boolean" default="true"/>
</xsd:complexType>
I would like both types to include all methods generated for the two groups of
elements and for one of attributes (which is also present in
ColumnExtAttributeGroup). Using pseudo-code, I would like my generated Java
classes to implement the following interface:
interface Common {
EntryTemplate methods
VariableValue methods
attribute max-access
}
It was easy with early access release and now it is not possible. Another case
could be, as I already mentioned, when you get XML and cannot modify it.
