The problem is that GML defines a Pos and a PosList element. xmlbeans accordingly declares a getPosList() method twice - once for return a list of pos elements, and the other for returning a single posList element i.e. /** * Gets a List of "pos" elements */ public java.util.List<net.opengis.gml.x32.DirectPositionType> getPosList() and /** * Gets the "posList" element */ public net.opengis.gml.x32.DirectPositionListType getPosList() ...of course there are two identical method signatures with different return types. This causes scomp to yield the error: .../target/generated-sources/net/opengis/gml/x32/impl/LinearRingTypeImpl.java:506: getPosList() is already defined in net.opengis.gml.x32.impl.LinearRingTypeImpl public net.opengis.gml.x32.DirectPositionListType getPosList() To avoid this error you have to tell xmlbeans to override one of the names. I decided that instead of xmlbeans mapping GML "pos" elements to Java "pos" members, they map to "position" instead. To achieve this use a command line similar to the following: scomp -d target/generated-classes/ -src target/generated-sources/ -dl -javasource 1.5 -mx 512m src/main/resources/gml.xsd src/main/resources/gml.xsdconfig and an xsdconfig of: <xb:config xmlns:xb="http://xml.apache.org/xmlbeans/2004/02/xbean/config" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2"> <xb:qname name="gml:pos" javaname="Position"/> </xb:config> 'hope that this helps someone else using xmlbeans with GML.
