I don't think this is going to do any good. Right now I've got ID/IDREF
links handling by JAXB using a Schema along these lines:
...
<xsd:element name="carrier">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="rating" type="xsd:int"/>
<xsd:element name="URL" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="ident" type="xsd:ID" use="required"/>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
...
<xsd:element name="flight">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="number" type="xsd:int"/>
<xsd:element name="depart" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="arrive" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="carrier" type="xsd:IDREF" use="required"/>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
Where the "carrier" attribute of a "flight" element always links to a
"carrier" element. I'd like to have the generated methods take the form:
java.lang.Object getCarrier();
void setCarrier(java.lang.Object value);
rather than what I'm getting now, which is:
java.lang.Object getCarrier();
void setCarrier(java.lang.Object value);
I'm probably missing something here, but I don't see how to do this
using the <jaxb:property> customization you outlined below without
writing some sort of custom converters for the IDREFs to <carrier>
elements. Even if I did this, I don't see how to use custom converters
with ID/IDREF pairs unless I handle them completely on my own and
maintain my own maps of ID to object. Any suggestions?
Thanks again,
- Dennis
