hey all!
I am experiencing a strange effect in jaxb1:
imagine i have one complex type and one element
<xs:complex-type name="UserType" ....>
<xs:element name="User" type="UserType"/>
jaxb now creates a User class for me that extends UserType
now i have another element that uses UserType
<xs:element name="TypeThatContainsUserType">
<xs:complex-type>
<xs:element name="myUser" type="UserType"/>
</...>
now I have TypeThatContainsUserType class, with a setMyUser(UserType)
User extends UserType so i can pass a user to this setter.
but when i then try to marshall this type i get a document that doesnt
validate, and i get an error message that looks something like this:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Invalid element in ....UserType - user
so my question is basically: why does the User class extend the
UserType class, if the marshalling creates incorrect xml then?
is there a workaround?
am i doing something stupid?
is that also the case in jaxb2?
thanks
chris
