[jira] Commented: (AXIS2-262) provider wrapper for xsd:any

["David Jencks (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-262?page=comments#action_12331307 ] 

David Jencks commented on AXIS2-262:
------------------------------------

Although xmlbeans doesn't provide getters/setters for xsd:any elements, you don't need to use XmlCursors to find them.

For instance, assuming you have an type like this:

    <xs:complexType name="xml-attributeType">
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax"/>
        </xs:sequence>
        <xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string"/>
    </xs:complexType>



                XmlObject[] anys = xmlAttributeType.selectChildren(XmlAttributeType.type.qnameSetForWildcardElements());

will get the xsd:any element (inside an array).  If the xmlbeans generated classes and types are available to the appropriate classloader and SchemaTypeLoader, the XmlObject you get will in fact be the correct type according to its schema, not a plain XmlObject.

If you know the qname of the expected element you can create your own QNameSet and get only the ones you are interested in.

> In the generated client code, there's no getters or setters that represent an xsd:any in the schema, you're left to grunge around with xmlCursors yourself, this is a PIA because the xmlCursor is not aware of where the xsd:any is declared in the sequence, so suddenly the client programmer has to be aware of the structure of the container of the xsd:any, not just the xsd:any elements themselves.
