This enhancement is now available in CVS. You can now specify a fully
qualified class name for the ToStringStyle parameter. Example:
<xjc schema="po.xsd" package="primer.po" destdir="gen-src">
<arg value="-Xcommons-lang" />
<arg value="-Xcommons-lang:ToStringStyle=com.x.MyCustomToStringStyle" />
<produces dir="gen-src/primer.po" includes="**/*.java" />
</xjc>
The only requirement is that the subclass must have a no-arg constructor.
The generated code will be something like:
import com.x.MyCustomToStringStyle;
...
@Override
public String toString() {
return ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(this, new
MyCustomToStringStyle());
}
