Hello experts,

I am running an example from apache site, but wouldn't work ... could anyone please give me some help ? thanks.
The original example is at:
http://xmlbeans.apache.org/samples/AbstractTypes.html
This example is regarding the AbstractType of xml beans ... does anyone ever deal with this ? Please HELP !!!

yes ! I did! I use xbean-2.1.0.jar

hoomanv

please remove it from classpath and tell me the result

import org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlObject;
import org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlOptions;

I am in eclipse ... if I remove xbean-2.1.0.jar
It complains the above things (and some other more) can not be resolved!

hoomanv

this error is due to a name confliction
two (or more) classes have the same name, in your classpath
you should remove some paths to resolve it

If you are interested , you can test this little demo

// A.java

class A {
      public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
            Integer a;
      }
}

class Integer {
      int a;
}

// complie it

javac A.java

// make a jar file containing Integer.class

jar -cf a.jar Integer.class

// run demo

java -cp a.jar A

// you will encounter

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: A

hoomanv

really sorry, my demo was a pitfall, :-)

ignore my last two comments

mmm ... so maybe I created the jar file in a wrong way ?!?

I did it as follows:

[meow@cat abstracttypes]$ls
abstractBase.xsd AbstractTypes.java myfigures.jar xbean.jar
AbstractTypes.jar AbstractTypesTest.java myfigures.xsd

[meow@cat abstracttypes]$ scomp -out AbstractTypes.jar abstractBase.xsd
Time to build schema type system: 1.074 seconds
Time to generate code: 0.073 seconds
Time to compile code: 1.15 seconds
Compiled types to: AbstractTypes.jar

[meow@cat abstracttypes]$ scomp -out myfigures.jar myfigures.xsd abstractBase.xsd
Time to build schema type system: 0.854 seconds
Time to generate code: 0.085 seconds
Time to compile code: 1.203 seconds
Compiled types to: myfigures.jar

maybe I did " scomp -out myfigures.jar myfigures.xsd abstractBase.xsd" wrong ?!?

the instruction was:
-----------------------
Step1. Create the schema file "abstractBase.xsd" and compile it
to abstractbase.jar.
Step2. Create a Schema that implements the abstract types defined in
"abstractBase.xsd", and compile it with "abstractbase.jar" on the classpath.
Step3. Use the jars created in steps 1 and 2 to create an instance document
using the concrete types.
-----------------------------------
Maybe I did something wrong here while creating the jar ??? please help! thanks.

thanks for the help. problem solved. I need to add xmlpublic.jar and jsr173_1.0_api.jar
