xmlbeans and annotations for mapping

[Viren Baraiya <vi...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

does the xml bean provide support for java 5.0 style annotations to define
the binding between xml and java beans?

If not, is there any active interest in community on providing such a
feature?

(The generated type classes are POJO - no XmlObject extensions and
annotations are used to define mapping to the xml schema)

There are obvious benifits to this, one of the major one is that a java
class (POJO) can be a standalone class and a databinding provider can map it
to from xml document, reducing the need for complete XmlObject heirarchy.

XmlBeans 2.2.0 with Ant-Build-Task: How to take advantage of JDK 1.5 Generics rsp. Enumerations generated java-code

[Siegfried Baiz <ba...@sulzer.de>]

Hi All,

I' m using XmlBeans 2.2.0 with Ant-Build-Task.
Is there an example for an Ant-Build-File demonstrating,
how to take advantage of JDK 1.5 Generics
and/or Enumerations in XMLBeans generated classes?

I' ve tried several Options in my build.xml
like
...
        <xmlbean schema="schemas"
            destfile="build/lib/schemas.jar"
            srcgendir="src" 
            *javasource="1.5"*
            classpathref="xmlbeans.path"
            debug="on"           
            />
...

       <javac srcdir="src"
            destdir="build/classes"
            classpathref="Any.path"
            debug="on"
*            source="1.5"
            target="1.5"
*            />
...
but in the generated java-files I cannot see any difference to Java 1.4.
