| This sample illustrates the use of abstract XmlSchema types in XmlBeans. | |
| The scenario is simple: someone declares a generic XmlSchema containing the | |
| basic structure of a document with abstract, generic types and delivers a .jar | |
| file containing the compiled version of that Schema. We then define our own | |
| customization of that schema implementing the abstract types, we compile this | |
| XmlSchema using the .jar that was provided and create a sample instance | |
| document using XmlBeans. | |
| Here are the steps: | |
| Step1. Create the schema file "abstractBase.xsd" and compile it | |
| to abstractbase.jar. | |
| Step2. Create a Schema that implements the abstract types defined in | |
| "abstractBase.xsd", and compile it with "abstractbase.jar" on the classpath. | |
| Step3. Use the jars created in steps 1 and 2 to create an instance document | |
| using the concrete types. | |
| To try out this sample: | |
| 1. Set XMLBEANS_HOME in your environment | |
| 2. Ant must be on your PATH | |
| 3. To compile the schemas and sample source, run "ant build" | |
| 4. To execute the sample, run "ant run" | |
