This sounds like a Java problem more than an XMLBeans problem. From the sounds of it you are trying to cast up. In other words you AddressType -> Cannot be cast to -> EmployeeAddress But you were expecting something like this. EmployeeAddress -> Can be cast to -> AddressType
Rather than use constructors from EmployeeAddressImpl, why not use the EmployeeAddress.Factory.parse(...)/newInstance(...) based on how you are writing/starting your instance. -jacobd On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 12:18 PM, Sri Harsha Yenuganti <shyenuga...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi , > Here is the problem. > > I have the following interfaces ( These interfaces are generated by XMLBeans > ) : > ________________________________ > Interface AddressType { > ....... > } > > Interface EmployeeAddress extends AddressType { > .......... > } > > > > I have the following implementation classes ( These classes are generated by > XMLBeans ): > ________________________________ > Class AddressTypeImpl implements AddressType { > ........................ > } > > Class EmployeeAddressImpl extends AddressTypeImpl implements > EmployeeAddress{ > .............................. > } > > > Here is some class that uses these( This class is generated by XMLBeans ) : > ________________________________ > class MyClass { > > public AddressType someFunc(){ > ............. > > return employeeAddress; > } > > } > > > In some other class i have this code ( This is written by me ) : > ________________________________ > EmployeeAddress ea; > > EmployeeAddress ea = (EmployeeAddress) myClass.someFunc(); > > > someFunc() returns an object of type AddressType.
