Hi,
I have a schema, which uses a group twice. The first occurrence is
within an element with mixed content. The second occurrence is in a
child element.
I understand, that the first case requires, that the group is modeled
for the general content property. In other words, an atomic element is
represented as an object with getValue() and setValue() methods.
To my surprise, however, the same representation is used in the second
case. The only reason I can think of, is that the group is being reused.
My question is, whether this is as expected? And, if so, whether the
spec mandates this type of modeling or whether this could be done in a
different matter?
To reproduce the problem, see the schema below. In particular, see the
method
MixedElementType.CdElementType.getD()
which I would expect to return a string.
Regards,
Jochen
