RE: Xmlbeans is able to retrieve extra attribute from xml ?

[Gillen, Paul]

This seems to do what you're asking.

Assuming an XSD:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; 
elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
       <xs:element name="ATTRTEST">
              <xs:complexType>
                     <xs:sequence>
                           <xs:element name="TESTELEM">
                                  <xs:complexType>
                                         <xs:attribute name="DEFATTR" 
type="xs:string"/>
                                  </xs:complexType>
                           </xs:element>
                     </xs:sequence>
              </xs:complexType>
       </xs:element>
</xs:schema>
And XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ATTRTEST xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../xsd/AttrTest.xsd" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
       <TESTELEM DEFATTR="defined" BOGUSATTR="bogus"/>
</ATTRTEST>
The following code:
package test;

import java.io.File;

import javax.xml.namespace.QName;

import org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.values.XmlObjectBase;

import noNamespace.ATTRTESTDocument;
import noNamespace.ATTRTESTDocument.ATTRTEST;
import noNamespace.ATTRTESTDocument.ATTRTEST.TESTELEM;

public class Atest
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    throws Exception
    {
        Atest o = new Atest();
        o.go();
    }

    private void go()
    throws Exception
    {
        ATTRTESTDocument    atd     = ATTRTESTDocument.Factory.parse(new 
File("xml/AttrTest.xml"));
        ATTRTEST            at      = atd.getATTRTEST();
        TESTELEM            te      = at.getTESTELEM();
        System.out.println(te.getDEFATTR());
        XmlObjectBase       ba      = (XmlObjectBase)te.selectAttribute(new 
QName("BOGUSATTR"));
        System.out.println(ba.getStringValue());
    }
}
Returns:
defined
bogus

Subject: Xmlbeans is able to retrieve extra attribute from xml ?

I have a simple question.

I have a xsd standard (string..no complextype).

I receive xml message that can contains extra attributes that are not in the 
xsd.

With JAXB they are put into

    /**
     * Gets a map that contains attributes that aren't bound to any typed 
property on this class.
     *
     * <p>
     * the map is keyed by the name of the attribute and
     * the value is the string value of the attribute.
     *
     * the map returned by this method is live, and you can add new attribute
     * by updating the map directly. Because of this design, there's no setter.
     *
     *
     * @return
     *     always non-null
     */
    public Map<QName, String> getOtherAttributes() {
        return otherAttributes;
    }

but is it possible to do something similar with xmlbeans ?

It a showstopper if I can't do that.

thanks
