Hi, all. This is my first message to the mailing list, so I apologize if I am stating some very old news.
Recently I have been encountering some classloading problems when using XMLBeans in an OSGi environment (Equinox), and I have seen some other users with similar issues [1, 2]. The common symptom was that xsi:type information could neither be generated, nor interpreted while running in an OSGi environment. To my understanding, the use of the Thread Context ClassLoader, within the SchemaTypeLoader [3] needs some extra help to work properly within an OSGi environment. Equinox provides this help in the form of "Buddy Class Loading" (unfortunately, this is *not* part of the OSGi spec, making it an Equinox specific fix) [4]. By marking the XMLBeans bundle with an Eclipse-BuddyPolicy header in its manifest, and the compiled schema bundle with an Eclipse-RegisterBuddy header in its manifest, Equinox is able to bridge the classloading gap between the core XMLBeans jar and your compiled schema classes. Assuming that my XMLBeans bundle has: Bundle-SymbolicName: org.apache.xmlbeans I would include in that XMLBeans bundle manifest the line: Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered I would then alter my scomp'd schema classes bundle manifest to include: Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: org.apache.xmlbeans After doing this, my problems are resolved. I hope this can help someone else, and was not incredibly old news.
