Hi all, I have tow applications uses SDO for internal business object representation. They defines Types dynamically without XSD. One application have to pass objects to another. I supposed the simplest way to do it is to serialize DataObject to XML, pass XML to another peer, and then deserialize it back to DataObject. But it is not so simple as I thought :)
As I understand specification and samples I should do following: - using XSDHelper.generate() I have to save Type XSD from one application and pass XSD to other side. On other side using XSDHelper.define() define the new type by provided XSD. - than I could save DataObjects to XML by XMLHelper.save() and pass XMLs to another application. But the generated XML don`t follow the XSD produced for the Type early... So the second application can`t load DataObject correctly. The main inconsistency is that all data object properties serialized as elements instead of attributes (in the generated Type XSD they defined as attributes). I played with samples from specification (SDO 2.1.0 FINAL). I define dynamic Type "customer" as on 3.8.4 & 3.8.5. and then create XML as on 3.11.8.Resulting XML generated by Tuscany differ from the one on 3.11.8. Instead of using attributes for properties (custNum, firstName..) Tuscany use elements. May be it is correct... So, is there another correct way to exchange DataObjects between too applications when Types defined dynamically? Thanks.
