In the previous version of castor i was using (0.9.5) if you had an element with a type that did not exist in the schema then the source generation would fail but with 1.1 it simply makes the type a java.lang.Object and procedes happily.
using the following schema (note that there is no declaration of type 'blahblahblah'):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:simpleType name="HOST">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string"/>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:simpleType name="ID">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string"/>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:simpleType name="PASSWORD">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string"/>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:complexType name="FLOWER">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="HOST" type="HOST"/>
<xs:element name="ID" type="blahblahblah" />
<xs:element name="PASSWORD" type="PASSWORD"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
with castor 0.9.x you get the following error:
[javac] FLOWER.java:47: cannot find symbol
[javac] symbol : class ID
[javac] location: package mypackage.common
[javac] private mypacakge.common.ID _ID;
[javac] ^
but with castor 1.1 it happily builds the source setting the property 'ID' to a java.lang.Object in the source file.
attached is the bug template where i've only touched files in srcgen-bug.zip\bugs\xml\srcgen\template\ (i replaced the schema, and added some settings to the SourceGenerator object.
Bug
Closed
Minor
Source generator does not fail on unresolved element types instead it sets them as java.lang.Object
.
if (xsType == null) {
//-- patch for bug 1471 (No XMLType specified)
//-- treat unspecified type as anyType
switch (component.getAnnotated().getStructureType()) { case Structure.ATTRIBUTE: case Structure.ELEMENT: xsType = new XSClass(SGTypes.OBJECT); break; default: // probably a model-group break; }
}
Which makes me wonder why we get that far at all ..
