JAXB, Netbeans and Interface Insertion Plugin

Question

Hi,

I can't get my generated classes to implements any interface.

This is my xml schema file: xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/" xmlns:ai="http://jaxb.dev.java.net/plugin/if_insertion" jxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="ai" >

<xs:element name="header">
    <xs:annotation>
        <xs:appinfo>
            <ai:interfaces check="1">
              utility.RuleInterface
            </ai:interfaces>
        </xs:appinfo>
    </xs:annotation>

    <xs:complexType>
        bla bla bla
    </xs:complexType>

I checked the "Extension" option in the JAXB options and I hav added the xjc-if-ins.jar to the "Libraries" section of my project Properties.

But the generated Header class doesn't implements the utility.RuleInterface.

I can figure out what am I doing wrong... Is it something missing?

Any idea?

regards, Segolas

Answer 1

Have you actually activated the plugin? With an option like -Xinheritance?

Here's another plugin you may use:

Here's a sample project (Ant and Maven):

Just another note for others with the same problem. The elements inside the xml schema file should be written in this way:

<xs:complexType name="header">
   <xs:annotation>
        <xs:appinfo>
            <ai:interfaces check="0">
              utility.RuleInterface
            </ai:interfaces>
        </xs:appinfo>
    </xs:annotation>          
</xs:complexType>

and the you can refer to them:

<xs:element name="rule">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element name="header"  type="header" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
                ...
            </xs:sequence>
        <xs:complexType>

My problem was that I had declared the header as <xs:element name="header"> and than I was referring to the element with <xs:element ref="header" maxOccurs="unbounded" /> and this approach doesn't seems to work...
