I have the following xml types:
<xsd:element name="FaxNumbers" minOccurs="0">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="FaxNumber" type="FaxNumber" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
The FaxNumber type looks like this:
<xsd:simpleType name="FaxNumber">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:minLength value="1" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
The resulting xml should be something like this:
<FaxNumbers>
<FaxNumber>3878374</FaxNumber>
<FaxNumber>387833434</FaxNumber>
<FaxNumber>3878334</FaxNumber>
</FaxNumbers>
When running JAXB XJC to generate java classes from XSD it generates the following class:
@XmlType(name = "FaxNumbers")
public class FaxNumbers {
/**
* No comment.
*/
@XmlElement(name = "FaxNumber", required = true)
protected List<String> faxNumber = new ArrayList<String>();
}
However i would like bind FaxNumber to composite class like this:
@XmlType(name = "FaxNumbers")
public class FaxNumbers {
/**
* No comment.
*/
@XmlElement(name = "FaxNumber", required = true)
protected List<FaxNumber> faxNumber = new ArrayList<String>();
}
Where FaxNumber class looks like this:
public class FaxNumber{
@XmlValue
private String value;
}
Is there a way to define such binding in JAXB bindings xml?
Note: Unfortunately I don't have control over and cannot change the XSD
I don't think you can get xjc to generate such a FaxNumber class for you, but you can write it yourself and then use an external binding file to slot it in at the right place.
package com.example;
public class FaxNumber {
private String value;
// getter/setter
public static FaxNumber parse(String s) {
FaxNumber n = new FaxNumber();
n.value = s;
return n;
}
public static String print(FaxNumber n) {
return n.value;
}
}
Bindings:
<jaxb:bindings xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
jaxb:version="2.0">
<jaxb:bindings schemaLocation="example.xsd">
<jaxb:bindings node="//xsd:simpleType[@name='FaxNumber']">
<jaxb:javaType name="com.example.FaxNumber"
parseMethod="com.example.FaxNumber.parse"
printMethod="com.example.FaxNumber.print"/>
</jaxb:bindings>
</jaxb:bindings>
<jaxb:bindings>
instead of line <xsd:element name="FaxNumber" type="FaxNumber" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
in your FaxNumbers xsd definition use <xsd:element name="FaxNumber" ref="FaxNumber" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
. I think this is your problem
