The deeper mysteries of XSD and JAXB

[Benson Margulies <bi...@basistech.com>]

I'm beginning to actually run JavaScript generation code on real schemas
inside CXF. In particular, I'm using the 'one of everything' type test
that we use with JAXB.

It isn't taking me long to run into things that I don't understand.

Example 1: org.apache.type_test.types3.OccuringStruct.

The first child of the complex type for this item is an XmlSchemaChoice!

That's not what the Javadoc in OcurringStruct tells me to expect.

Aside from hoping for some assistance with this instance of trouble and
distress, I was wondering if someone could propose an orderly process
here for me to post up questions like this and people who understand
these things to answer them when they get around to it. Like, maybe, a
wiki page?

Also, what sort of error reporting makes sense insofar as the first
version of the Javascript generator will never, ever, handle all these
weird cases?

My experience has been that I have not found the magic incantation to
get anyone to respond to anything I post over there. I'll try again.

Meanwhile, some one of us put the comment in the top of OccurringStruct,
which contains a fragment of XML schema that appears to be completely
different from what JAXB is building. I can perhaps imagine that the
issue here is that @XmlElements(...) means 'these in any order',  which
would produce the choice element, which would explain what I am seeing,
but I was hoping that whoever added the comment could clarify.

There is a JAXB user's mailing list and forum over at Sun (see
below)--makes sense to ask there, because we use their JAXB processor
anyway.  But anything long term, a Wiki page could work as well.
