Hi Ole, What you are seeing is expected behavior for XMLBeans. The classes are generated this way because of the schema design pattern you are using. In your Tree xsd you are using the russian doll pattern while in your flat file xsd you are using the salami slice pattern.
Here is some additional information on the patterns in case you are interested. http://www.xfront.com/GlobalVersusLocal.pdf http://developers.sun.com/jsenterprise/nb_enterprise_pack/reference/techart/design_patterns.html In answer to your question: Is there any possibility to configure XMLBeans to generate a flat class structure for a tree-structured xml schema? Not AFAIK, however you may want to look into the venetian blind pattern as you can work 'Type' classes in a manner like you are seeking. Hope this helps, -Jacob Danner On 9/6/07, Ole Laurisch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Hello, > > > > I have a problem when I try to generate a jar for an xml schema which is > organized like a tree.
