Hi Maryam,
Please see my comments inline
1) if an optional element is missing from the base type,
override the getter and setter corresponding to the element and throw
appropriate exceptions.
Yes. This seems appropriate
2) if the type of the element is a subtype of its corresponding type in the
base type,
write the element and its getter and setter as a not inherited field in
the class.
This is alright too.
3) if the minOccurs and maxOccurs differs, (????)
This is a bit tricky. If the original field had minOccurs/maxOccurs
greater than 1 then it will become an array and if the occurance
counts differ from the basetype it is just a matter of generating the
setters with proper counts. if for a field that had min and max occurs
as 1 (which should have made the field non-array) then we should be
generating a seperate field and relevant getters and setters. For the
original field I would say you'll have to override the relevant
getters and setters to throw exceptions
4) if the attributes of the restricted type are different, (????),
I don't see any other option than overriding the getters and setters
and generating the new attributes.
Also please note that processing attributes are not handled completely
in the current version.
So far we have two cases, either I should write the element completely as a
field with its getter and setter
or just overriding the getter and setter.
Overriding the getters and setters is the better way AFAIU.
* In (1) the DOM tree generated in the
JavaBeanWriter.addPropertyEntries(...) needs to be edited
since the removed element is not an inherited element any more. There are
two approaches here, either adding a "isRestricted"
attribute to the property nodes or we can have separate nodes named
"restricted" per missing elements.
But, in order to edit this tree I need to have the root element of the
tree, but some how it returns null when I use:
Element root = model.getDocumentElement();
Hmm... this is something I have to look at.
* In (2) just another element is added to the tree like before.
* I need suggestions on (3) and (4).
Comments are appreciated ...
Thanks,
Maryam
