Hi Pieter,
You should be able to use this via the extension mechanism avaiable
with version 2.2 and later. Here is the blurb from teh release:
Extensions - You can now add custom functionality to generated
XMLBeans. You can pass to the Schema Compiler 1) an interface that
defines the set of methods to implement and 2) a static handler that
implements this functionality. The generated classes will implement
the interface and, for each method, call out to the static handler.
I found teh following references online in case you needed more information:
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlbeans/ExtensionInterfacesFeature
http://dev2dev.bea.com/pub/a/2004/05/XMLBeans_raj.html

Best of luck,
-Jacob Danner

Hi,
I want to add some functionality to the generated classes, without touching
the generated classes themselve.
Let say I've got a generated class Instrument and I extend it:
MyInstrument extends Instrument{
// dummy method
public String identify(){
return "MyInstrument";
}
}
Now I want the factory to use this class
InstrumentDocument.Factory.parse(new File("xxx.xml "));
Due to my limited knowledge of XML beans and Java I've no idea how to
accomplish this.
thanks,
Pieter
