asked on
jaxb; 2 schemas with common xs:import
Hello,
I am using JAXB in my j2ee project.
I have two XML Schemas; Report.xsd and Graph.xsd
Both of these schemas import a common element defined in Query.xsd
I can generate the Java classes to represent these schemas using Jaxb an manipulate DOMs an so on, no problem.
The probelm is; I thought by having both Report and Graph import Query, that when I called:
graph.getQuery().get( 0 );
or:
report.getQuery().get( 0 );
that I'd get back an object of type:
com.mycompany.myproject.qu
but what I actually get back is a:
com.mycompany.myproject.gr
or:
com.mycompany.myproject.re
depending on which object I called on.
This is frustrating because I expected both Report and Graph to use objects with the same interface so I could process the Query irrespective of whether it was a Report query or a Graph query.
The generated report.Query and graph.Query don't even implement any interface in common.
Could someone advise me how to achieve what I'm trying to do? Is there a way to tweak JAXB to do this?
Cheers,

sorry, I meant that I was including the query schema, not importing it.
Both report.xsd and graph.xsd have the line:
<xs:include schemaLocation="./query.xs
at the top.
Will changing this to an xs:import statement and using a different namespace result in the desired common interface I'm after?
I don't understand how that would work..

If I use xs:import instead of xs:include, I get a parse error in my Report.xsd in the section:
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="query" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
"cannot resolve the name 'query' to a(n) 'element declaration' component"
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="query" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
"cannot resolve the name 'query' to a(n) 'element declaration' component"

What namespace do you use for each XSD and can you show the actual import statements that you use in each?
