I noticed the following "problem" and wondered whether this is a bug or
a feature :-)
If I have an element "Element" defined as a sequence of 0 to infinity
Foo elements
followed by 0 to infinity Bar elements, the generated Jaxb class looks
like this:
interface Element {
List getFoo();
List getBar();
}
Then assume we've got
Element element = factory.createElement();
Foo foo = factory.createFoo();
Bar bar = factory.createBar();
Since lists are not type safe in Java,
I can add foo as well as bar into the list of Foo:
element.getFoo().add(foo);
element.getFoo().add(bar);
If I validate element, should it be valid or not?
I expected to get a validation exception, since
I added a bar element into the foo list, and was surprised
to learn that Jaxb thinks this is valid and can even
marshal it.
Is it a bug or a feature?
Regards,
Petra
