Real quick reply, so forgive me if I am missing something specific. What happens when you try to validate your type? I'm going to imagine you get a couple of errors.
I think you should try using something like: MetadataDocument doc = MetadataDocument.Factory.parse(new ...) The differences between Types and Document are discussed in the getting started docs. Let the list know if that takes care of it or if you need further help, -jacobd On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 2:00 PM, Wm.A.Stafford <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm a novice user of XmlBeans.
