Hey all -

Making decent progress using Chris Potts' method of writing import XML
using the JAXB marshaller for objects, but I'm getting a bit stuck with
schema extensions. We've extended the persons schema to include employer
(simple test), but I'm not sure how / if I can use that extension? It
doesn't seem to add get/set methods to the PersonsCommon class in
org.collectionspace.services.person.jaxb-2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, but it's
possible I'm doing something wrong? The other jar we generate with the
extension
(org.collectionspace.services.person.3rdparty.nuxeo-2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar) has
the xsd file but doesn't seem to be usable as an instantiatable class to
use with JAXB?

What's the right answer to instantiate a person object and populate our
extended schema and then marshal into XML?

Thanks for any tips,
Nate

Nate,

I'll send you some notes on creating and using the JAX-B
bindings for your extensions either later today or tomorrow. I think Aron
may have creates documentation for this on the wiki so I'll ask him as
well.

Until then, you can take a look at the CollectionObject service to
see an example of an extension that has JAX-B bindings. Notice that there
are TWO corresponding XSD files -one in the "jaxb" Maven module and one in
the "3rdparty" Maven module. These two XSD files are very similar but
differ in that one is for Nuxeo and the other is for JAX-B.

Also, take a
look at the CollectionObject "sample" module to see how to use the JAX-B
generated extension class (the class that the XJC compiler created from the
"collectionobjects_naturalhistory.xsd" file. Notice there are two JAX-B
classes -one derived from collectionobjects_common.xsd and the other from
collectionobjects_naturalhistory.xsd. Also notice the role of the
PoxPayloadOut class and the PoxPayOutputPart class.
