JAXB SCD not working with annox

Question

I am having difficulties getting JAXB binding files to work with annox and SCD element selection. The schema is a bare basic schema with a ComplexType named SongType. I tried the normal way doing something like below and everything works a treat, class is named Song and not SongType and also has the Deprecated annotation.

<jaxb:bindings node="/xsd:schema" schemaLocation="example.xsd"> <jaxb:bindings node="xsd:complexType[@name='SongType']"> <jaxb:class name="Song"/> <annox:annotateClass> <annox:annotate annox:class="java.lang.Deprecated"/> </annox:annotateClass> </jaxb:bindings> </jaxb:bindings>

But when I try to the same with jaxb scd references, XJC just fails with a xerces exception complaining that it does not know about the annox element present. Can anyone offer a suggestion of what is wrong here?

<jaxb:bindings scd="x-schema::tns" xmlns:tns="http://www.fleurida.com/blueprint"> <jaxb:bindings scd="~tns:SongType"> <jaxb:class name="Song"/> <annox:annotateClass> <annox:annotate annox:class="java.lang.Deprecated"/> </annox:annotateClass> </jaxb:bindings> </jaxb:bindings>

This is due to an issue in XJC, as reported here.

In short, Annox uses vendor extensions (i.e. special configuration elements like annox:annotate) which are currently not supported in SCD-based bindings.

Unfortunately, I don't believe this will be fixed any time soo. Please use node bindigs instead.

BTW, I have moved Annox to GitHub as well:

• https://github.com/highsource/jaxb2-annotate-plugin
• https://github.com/highsource/annox

You can now annotate in Java syntax:

<xsd:complexType name="FooType">
    <xsd:annotation>
        <xsd:appinfo>
            <annox:annotate>@java.lang.SuppressWarnings({"unchecked","rawtypes"})</annox:annotate>
        </xsd:appinfo>
    </xsd:annotation>
    <xsd:sequence> ...</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
