Hi Everyone,
I'm working from an existing schema that is not really ideal for
creating our models but I have little control over it so I'm trying to
convert things using binding instructions in an external (xjb) file.
One of things I'm struggling with is that I can't find a way to change
the 'depth' of the model, for example, we get things with this
structure;
<monthyeartype>
<month>01</month>
<year>2005</year>
</monthyeartype>
For our purposes we would like to convert this to a java.util.Date or
joda.LocalDate. I've tried using a binding file with javaType
instructions but I can only seem to get that to work for simple elements
and not for complexTypes. When using it on complexTypes the xjc compiler
gives me the following error ;
[xjc] [ERROR] compiler was unable to honor this javaType customization.
It is attached to a wrong place, or its inconsistent with other
bindings.
Are the javaType conversions only meant for simple xml types or can
complex types be converted as well? If so, where can I find some
documentation/samples of this?
Another thing I noticed is that where it does create the proper adapter
for me when using conversion of simple types the generated code is
annotated like this;
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(Adapter4 .class)
The space between 'Adapter4' and '.class' is generated and gives errors
as you would expect.
I'm working with version 2.1.7.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Joris Melchior.
