| This sample illustrates how you can work with mixed content XML by combining |
| strong types generated from schema with an XmlCursor instance. The XmlCursor |
| interface is provided with XMLBeans for just this kind of use. With strong types |
| you can only get or set the full value of an element; by using a cursor you can |
| "dive into" the contents of an element, manipulating child elements that are |
| embedded in the content and surrounded by other text. |
| |
| The sample's XML is a pseudo-inventory of nonsensical items, each with a unique |
| ID and a description. Where the name of one item is mentioned in the description |
| of another, the sample code wraps the name with a <link> element whose id |
| attribute is the ID of the named item. |
| |
| When you run this sample, you'll see it print potentially three blocks of |
| information: |
| - The XML it got from the inventoryitems.xml file. |
| - The XML it generated by associating cross-mentioned items. |
| - The results from validating the resulting XML, if the XML is invalid. |
| |
| 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" |
