alternatives to ID/IDREF

[Alec Lebedev <al...@nextpage.com>]

I am using an XSD, which defines references between different types
using ID and IDREF attributes. However, the classes generated by
XmlBeans have getId() methods, which return String type. This makes it
impossible to access XML elements referenced via IDREF-ID relationship
using classes generated by XmlBeans.

 

Is there an alternative way to define IDREF-ID relationships in XSD so
that classes generated by XmlBeans could provide direct access to the
referenced XML elements?

 

Thanks.

I haven't been able to find a solution for my problem described below.
Could anybody comment on it?
