Jaxb char mapping

[Marco Piraccini <ma...@acm.org>]

I'm using CXF with jaxws and jaxb. My problem is that the "char" java  
types are mapped to xs:unsignedShort (instead of xs:string with size 1  
as i expected).

I read the jaxb 2.0 specs, but the char primitive type mapping seems  
not to be defined.

There is a quick way to configure/customize jaxb to map char to xs:string?

Bye,

Marco.

Marco,

You can probably add an @XmlType(...) annotation to the char field in 
your beans to make it a string.   There isn't a way in JAXB to do the 
facets required to add the size 1 restriction though.   That's a JAXB 
limitation.
