I have a question regarding the node xpath expression in <jxb:bindings\>:
I have a type that I use multiple times in an xsd, specified in its own xsd:
common.xsd:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema
targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/xsd/common"
xmlns="http://www.example.com/xsd/common"
xmlns:tns="http://www.example.com/xsd/common"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xsd:complexType name="Parameter">
<xsd:simpleContent>
<xsd:extension base="xsd:string">
<xsd:attribute name="key" type="xsd:string" use="required" />
</xsd:extension>
</xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
included multiple times in another schema:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema
targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/xsd/example"
xmlns="http://www.example.com/xsd/example"
xmlns:tns="http://www.example.com/xsd/example"
xmlns:c="http://www.example.com/xsd/common"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xsd:element name="example" type="example" />
<xsd:complexType name="example">
<xsd:all>
<xsd:element name="working" type="working" />
<xsd:element name="notworking" type="notworking" />
</xsd:all>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="working">
<xsd:all>
<xsd:element name="Parameters">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Parameter" type="c:Parameter" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:all>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="notworking">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Parameter" type="c:Parameter" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="anAttribute" type="xsd:token" />
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
for binding with jaxb, I have a class ParameterMap:
package com.example.common.xml.model;
import java.util.HashMap;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.adapters.XmlJavaTypeAdapter;
import com.example.common.xml.binding.ParameterAdapter;
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(ParameterAdapter.class)
public class ParameterMap extends HashMap<String, String> {}
as well as the adapter class:
package com.example.common.xml.binding;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.adapters.XmlAdapter;
import com.example.common.xml.model.ObjectFactory;
import com.example.common.xml.model.Parameter;
import com.example.common.xml.model.ParameterMap;
public class ParameterAdapter extends XmlAdapter<List<Parameter>, ParameterMap> {
public ParameterMap unmarshal(List<Parameter> params) {
ParameterMap map = new ParameterMap();
for (Parameter p : params) {
map.put(p.getKey(), p.getValue());
}
return map;
}
public List<Parameter> marshal(ParameterMap map) {
List<Parameter> params = new ArrayList<>();
ObjectFactory of = new ObjectFactory();
for (Map.Entry<String, String> e : map.entrySet()) {
Parameter p = of.createParameter();
p.setKey(e.getKey());
p.setValue(e.getValue());
params.add(p);
}
return params;
}
}
and of course bindings files to make the classes Parameter and ObjectFactory be generated into the correct package. The bindings file for the example namespace is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jxb:bindings version="1.0"
xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"
jxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="xjc">
<jxb:bindings schemaLocation="../pathTo/example.xsd" node="/xs:schema">
<jxb:bindings node="//xs:complexType[@name='working']//xs:element[@name='Parameters']">
<jxb:class name="com.example.common.xml.model.ParameterMap" />
</jxb:bindings>
<jxb:bindings node="//xs:complexType[@name='notworking']//xs:element[@name='Parameter']">
<jxb:class name="com.example.common.xml.model.ParameterMap" />
</jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>
as you can tell from the naming, the binding for the child of working gets generated correctly, while the binding for notworking results in the generated class member
@XmlElement(name = "Parameter")
protected List<ParameterMap> parameter;
what I would that like to look like would be the same as in working:
@XmlElement(name="Parameters")
protected ParameterMap parameters;
I'm not flashed by "Parameter" vs "Parameters", but the type is wrong - any help on how to achieve that would be appreciated.
I also already tried applying the notworking binding to the sequence (via node="//xs:complexType[@name='notworking']/xs:sequence") but that just gets ignored. If I try to apply it directly on the notworking complexType it results in a parse error.
