any and anyAttribute
Howdi,
as XmlBeans does not produce accessors for <any> and <anyAttribute>, I
am looking for a simple way to get everything, that is not reflected in
the java interface.
So far, my best shot is using a cursor checking against
getObject().schemaType().getProperties(). It's never clean nor pretty.
Is there are better solution?
What's the design reason for leaving out <any> and <anyAttribute> in
the first place?
Cheers

I am also having the frustration of XMLBeans not
having an accessor method for "any" element like
getAny() as in Sun JAXB. I you mentioned, I also would
like to know why this is not available in XMLBeans
although it claims to map/bind 100% of XML Schema!
thanks,
ganga

yes, I did see that thread, but is not the answer to my question. I am
writing a generic program, reacting to the XmlBeans it encounters
parsing a document. Basically, what I need is reflection on XmlBeans.
I need to quickly answer questions like:
- Is there an extension attribute (not covered by the java interface)
- Is there an extension element (~)
- Is there a spot, where I can add an extension
(Extension in this context basically being <any> and <anyAttribute>)
Your example just show, that if you know where you want the extension
to go, how to put it there.
Again, using cursor.getObject().schemaType().getProperties() to get the
schema of the element and then use the cursor to query what's really
included does not look pretty. Any options?
