I'm trying to add an interface using the jaxb2-basics artifact from the jaxb2_commons maven group.
My pom.xml contains the following dependencies
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
<version>2.2.7</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.2.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-basics-runtime</artifactId>
<version>0.6.4</version>
</dependency>
and the plugin configuration looks like
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jaxb22-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.8.2</version>
<executions>

As you can see from the above, there are two invocations of xjc, which both work. Focusing on the first one, my bindings file
<jaxb:bindings
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"
xmlns:inheritance="http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/basic/inheritance"
jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="xjc"
version="1.0">
<jaxb:bindings schemaLocation="../schema/MESSAGES-IN.xsd" node="/xs:schema">
<jaxb:globalBindings typesafeEnumMaxMembers="3000">
<jaxb:serializable uid="1"/>
</jaxb:globalBindings>
<jaxb:schemaBindings>
<jaxb:package name="com.whatever.messages.request"/>
</jaxb:schemaBindings>
<jaxb:bindings node="//xs:simpleType[@name='YesOrNo']">
<jaxb:class ref="com.whatever.messages.YesOrNo"/>
</jaxb:bindings>
<jaxb:bindings noade="//xs:complexType[@name='someLogin']">
<jaxb:class name="LoginRequest">
<jaxb:javadoc><![CDATA[A Login request message.]]>
</jaxb:javadoc>
</jaxb:class>
</jaxb:bindings>
</jaxb:bindings>
</jaxb:bindings>
works like a charm; but, when I attempt to add an interface to 'LoginRequest'...
<jaxb:bindings node="//xs:complexType[@name='someLogin']">
<jaxb:class name="LoginRequest">
<jaxb:javadoc><![CDATA[A Login request message.]]>
</jaxb:javadoc>
</jaxb:class>
<inheritance:implements>com.whatever.messages.Request</inheritance:implements>
</jaxb:bindings>
I receive the error message
Error while parsing schema(s).Location [ file:/C:/Users/justme/Documents/NetBeansProjects/someproject/src/main/binding/messages-in-binding.xjb{19,42}].
com.sun.istack.SAXParseException2; systemId: file:/C:/Users/justme/Documents/NetBeansProjects/someproject/src/main/binding/messsages-in-binding.xjb; lineNumber: 19; columnNumber: 42; compiler was unable to honor this class customization. It is attached to a wrong place, or its inconsistent with other bindings.
which reports that the location was
Error while generating code.Location [ file:/C:/Users/justme/Documents/NetBeansProjects/someproject/src/main/schema/MESSAGES-IN.xsd{106693,54}].
which happens to correspond to
<xs:complexType name="someLogin" mixed="true">
...
</xs:complexType>
Now, I've tried a second directive to bind the interface to the XSD element
<xs:element name="someLogin" type="someLogin" substitutionGroup="externalMethod"/>
But I just get the same error message with the element's line number as the location.
Obviously one wants to attach an interface to a class, and all of the examples look pretty close to my bindings file, but something must be wrong.
My environment is
Apache Maven 3.0.4 (r1232337; 2012-01-17 02:44:56-0600)
Maven home: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.2.1\java\maven
Java version: 1.7.0_07, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "x86", family: "windows"
Can someone explain why xjc believes the extension is operating on the wrong XSD type?
