Maybe I am not using well JAXB api.
I have slightly changed your xsd, transforming a global complex type to a
list of strings.
Here it is.
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="
http://gesinity.it/beans"
xmlns:test="
http://gesinity.it/beans"
xmlns:xsd="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xsd:element name="anyCollectionLax" type="test:AnyCollectionLax" />
<xsd:element name="stringCollection" type="test:StringCollection" />
<xsd:complexType name="AnyCollectionLax">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:any namespace="##any" processContents="lax"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="StringCollection">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="myString" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
then I Marshall an instance in this way:
JAXBContext jaxbContext=JAXBContext.newInstance("it.gesinity.beans");
Marshaller marshaller=jaxbContext.createMarshaller();
ObjectFactory fattori = new ObjectFactory();
AnyCollectionLax lax = fattori.createAnyCollectionLax();
StringCollection str = fattori.createStringCollection();
str.getMyString().add("GOD");
str.getMyString().add("SAVES");
str.getMyString().add("THE");
str.getMyString().add("QUEEN");
lax.getAny().add(str);
marshaller.marshal(lax, new FileOutputStream(new File("marshal.xml")));
and I produce the following file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<anyCollectionLax xmlns="
http://gesinity.it/beans">
<stringCollection>
<myString>GOD</myString>
<myString>SAVES</myString>
<myString>THE</myString>
<myString>QUEEN</myString>
</stringCollection>
</anyCollectionLax>
the I try to unmarshall the file:
JAXBContext jaxbContext=JAXBContext.newInstance("it.gesinity.beans");
Unmarshaller smarsha = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
Object tsk = smarsha.unmarshal(new File("marshalxml"));
Now I would expect tsk were an instance of AnyCollectionLax, but it is
not... it is an instance of JAXBElement (and the only instance of
StringCollection is contained inside).
Am I going in the right direction?
Is it the right approach?
How restore back the AnyCollectionLax instance, the StringCollection and all
my beloved Strings?
Thanks again.
