<H1 class=Title>xmlbean Ant Task</h1>
</div>
<div id=topictext>
<p>Compiles a set of XSD and/or WSDL files into XMLBeans. This is useful for
building an XMLBean JAR from XSD and WSDL files. If desired, the task can
also generate the source code that makes up the XMLBean type system specified
by the schema files.</p>
<p class="notepara"><b>Note:</b> This task depends on an external library not
included in the Ant distribution called xbean.jar. &nbsp;It can be found in
the XMLBeans developer kit at <a href="http://xml.apache.org/xmlbeans/"
target="_blank">http://xml.apache.org/xmlbeans/</a>.
The build script will need to include a taskdef for xmlbean, which could look
like this:</p>
</div>
<blockquote>
<div class="notepara">
<pre class="notepara">&lt;taskdef name="xmlbean" classname="com.bea.xbean.tool.XMLBean" classpath="path/to/xbean.jar"/&gt;</pre>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div>
<p>It is possible to refine the set of files that are being processed. This
can be done with the <span class="langinline">includes</span>, <span class="langinline">includesfile</span>,
<span class="langinline">excludes</span>, <span class="langinline">excludesfile</span>
and <span class="langinline">defaultexcludes</span> attributes. With the <span class="langinline">includes</span>
or <span class="langinline">includesfile</span> attribute you specify the
files you want to have included by using patterns. The <span class="langinline">exclude</span>
or <span class="langinline">excludesfile</span> attributes are used to specify
the files you want to have excluded. This is also done with patterns. And
finally with the <span class="langinline">defaultexcludes</span> attribute,
you can specify whether you want to use default exclusions or not. See the
section on <a
href="http://ant.apache.org/manual/dirtasks.html#directorybasedtasks" target="_blank">directory
based tasks</a> in the <a href="http://ant.apache.org/manual/" target="_blank">Ant
documentation</a>, on how the inclusion/exclusion of files works, and how
to write patterns.</p>
<p>This task forms an implicit <a
href="http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/fileset.html" target="_blank">FileSet</a>
and supports all attributes of <code>&lt;fileset&gt;</code> (<code>dir</code>
becomes <code>basedir</code>) as well as the nested <code>&lt;include&gt;</code>,
<code>&lt;exclude&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;patternset&gt;</code> elements.</p>

<h3>Example</h3>
</div>
<div id=topictext> Be sure to define the task in your script, like this:</div>
<div>
<pre>&lt;taskdef name="xmlbean" classname="com.bea.xbean.tool.XMLBean" classpath="path/to/xbean.jar"</pre>
<p>The following builds all the schemas in the schemas directory and creates
a jar called &quot;Schemas.jar&quot;.</p>
</div>
<div>
<pre>
&lt;xmlbean schema="schemas" destfile="Schemas.jar"/&gt;</pre>
The following compiles the schema &quot;ourSchema.xsd&quot; into the default
jar &quot;xmltypes.jar&quot;. &nbsp;If &nbsp;any imports and includes are defined
by remote URLs, they are downloaded during the build.
<div>
<pre>&lt;xmlbean schema="schemas/ourSchema.xsd" download="true"/&gt;</pre>
</div>
<div>
<h4>Using a fileset</h4>
</div>
<div>
<pre>&lt;xmlbean classgendir="${build.dir}" classpath="${class.path}"<br> failonerror="true"&gt;<br> &lt;fileset basedir="src" excludes="**/*.xsd"/&gt;<br> &lt;fileset basedir="schemas" includes="**/*.*"/&gt;<br>&lt;/xmlbean&gt;</pre>
</div>
<div> Gathers all the files in the src directory except XSD files, along with
every file in the schemas directory, and compiles them. The fileset can include
schema files that refer to previously compiled schema components.&nbsp; The
fileset can also contain JAVA files.&nbsp; The classpath parameter defines
the classpath necessary to resolve compiled schema and java references.<br>
<br>
The built classes will go into ${build.dir}.</div>
