This is rather long story but I'll try to make it short ;)
I've got complicated hierarchy of types defined in xsd many (each type has
lots of attributes and always inherits from some other type). XSD files are
spread around many maven projects and I use maven plugins to generate java
classes from xsd.
These types are used as params in web services methods and here the problem
starts. I've got some method that takes a parameter of type X. Type Y
inherits from X so I can pass an instance of Y to this method.
Unfortuyantely my web service client in this case only serializes attributes
defined in X while it should also serialize attributes defined in Y as
passed object is instance of Y.
I've read somewhere out there that to solve this it's enough to annotate X
as follows:
XMLSeeAlso(value={Y.class})
XJC in this particular case does not place this annotation itself ;/
Unfortunatelly I cannot do it cause in my case X and Y are defined in
separate maven projects. Project where Y is defined depends on project where
X is defined. To place above annotation I would have to make prohect with X
depend on project wit Y and I would get cyclic dependency.
That is why I was wondering if it is possible to put that annotation in xsd
so I don't have to care about dependencies.
If you know any possible solution or have any suggestion please share it
with me.
I hope I explained everything clear.
