XMLBeans and XHTML

[Orville Pike <or...@openpathproducts.com>]

Hi All,

 I' working on some code to parse and generate XHTML. What I've done is used
scomp to generate the XMLBeans classes from xhtml1-strict.xsd. This all
works and I can at the moment generate valid xhtml however I cannot figure
out how to set content data ie, how do I set and get "Example URL" out of
the following 

 

<a href="http://example.com>Example Url</a>

 

The setting code is like this:

ADocument.A a = null;

a = td.addNewA();

a.setHref("http://example.com");

a.setStyle("mystyle");

 

What I was expecting was some generic function such as
setStringValue()/getStringValue() but not of the xhtml classes I  generated
have this.  To test this I generated my own set of classes from my own xsd
and some  items do have a setStringValue()/getStringValue() which is not
deprecated and when used returns me the data I expect. 

 

I'm using XMLBeans 2.2.0 with JDK 1.5.0

My scomp command: scomp -noann -noupa -out xhtml1-strict.jar -compiler
\jdk1.5.0_07\bin\javac.exe xhtml1-strict.xsd

 

 

Any ideas

The reason that you see setStringValue()/getStringValue() on some of the
generated classes but not on others is the difference between simple
content and mixed content.
 
Simple content means that an element can only have text as contents,
while mixed content means that it can have both text and elements. When
the type has simple content, then you get the get/setStringValue() and
you can manipulate the text as a whole, however when the type has mixed
content (which most of the types in xhtml have), then you can't get the
text as a whole, but you need to know where children element were
present relative to text children. Example: you need to extract all the
text from a <p> tag, independent of formatting. In this case you want to
get the text that is an immediate child of <p>, but if you find a <b>
tag as a child, you need to get its text too and you want this text to
show up in the right order.
 
This is why mixed content is accessed using XmlCursor, for an example of
how to do it, see http://xmlbeans.apache.org/samples/MixedContent.html
