[castor-dev] how to handle different ns?

[Nikolas Nehmer]

Hi there,   I have a problem concerning namespaces. I have a very simple XML file like this:   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href=""> <Person xmlns="http://www.iese.fhg.de/Person" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.iese.fhg.de/Person Person.xsd">             <lastname>Mustermann</lastname>             <firstname>Karl</firstname>             <author type="association" href="">             <employee type="association" href=""> </Person>   which is based on the following xsd schema:   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xs:schema targetNamespace="http://www.iese.fhg.de/Person" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.iese.fhg.de/Person" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">             <xs:element name="Person" type="PersonType"/>             <xs:complexType name="PersonType">                         <xs:sequence>                                    <xs:element name="lastname" type="xs:string"/>                                    <xs:element name="firstname" type="xs:string"/>                                    <xs:element name="author" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">                                                <xs:complexType>                                                            <xs:attribute name="type" type="xs:string" use="required" fixed="association"/>                                                            <xs:attribute name="href" type="xs:anyURI" use="required"/>                                                </xs:complexType>                                    </xs:element>                                    <xs:element name="employee" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">                                                <xs:complexType>                                                            <xs:attribute name="type" type="xs:string" use="required" fixed="association"/>                                                            <xs:attribute name="href" type="xs:anyURI" use="required"/>                                                </xs:complexType>                                    </xs:element>                         </xs:sequence>             </xs:complexType> </xs:schema>   I want to use castor to manipulate the XML file an marshall it back into absolutly the same file structure. I was using mapping file:   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE databases PUBLIC   "-//EXOLAB/Castor Mapping DTD Version 1.0//EN"   "http://castor.exolab.org/mapping.dtd"> <mapping>     <class name="bindtest.Person">         <map-to xml="Person"/>                         <field name="_lastname" type="string">             <bind-xml name="lastname"/>         </field>                <field name="firstname" type="string">             <bind-xml name="firstname"/>         </field>         <field collection="array" name="author" type="bindtest.Author">             <bind-xml name="author"/>         </field>         <field collection="array" name="employee" type="bindtest.Employee">             <bind-xml name="employee"/>         </field>     </class>     <class name="bindtest.Author">         <field name="type" type="string">             <bind-xml name="type" node="attribute"/>         </field>         <field name="href" type="string">             <bind-xml name="href" node="attribute"/>         </field>     </class>     <class name="bindtest.Employee">         <field name="type" type="string">             <bind-xml name="type" node="attribute"/>         </field>         <field name="href" type="string">             <bind-xml name="href" node="attribute"/>         </field>     </class> </mapping>   The resulting XML file looked almost the same as the input XML file but no namespace declarations and no stylesheet definition. When I use the namespace attribute in the map-to element I can only define 1 single namespace but not several. Any suggestions?   Best regards, Nick
