[xsd-users] How to add data to xml any type of object

[Babinskas, Albert]

Hi Boris,
I got it to work, but the solution doesn't not look elegant. I will provide my XSD and code to show you what I mean.
Here is my XSD:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<xs:schema version="1.0" targetNamespace="http://VixWinXml" xmlns:tns="http://VixWinXml" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="annotationFile" type="tns:file_t"/>	
<xs:complexType name="file_t">
	<xs:sequence>
		<xs:element name="content" type="xs:base64Binary"/>
		<xs:element name="contentType" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>		 
		<xs:element name="path" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
	</xs:sequence>	
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>

And Another XSD snippet:
<xs:complexType name="appSpecificXml_t">
    <xs:complexContent>
      <xs:extension base="tns:appSpecificData_t">
        <xs:sequence>
          <xs:element name="dexis" type="tns:brandXml_t" minOccurs="0"/>
          <xs:element name="gendex" type="tns:brandXml_t" minOccurs="0"/>
          <xs:element name="soredex" type="tns:brandXml_t" minOccurs="0"/>
          <xs:element name="instrumentarium" type="tns:brandXml_t" minOccurs="0"/>
          <xs:element name="kavo" type="tns:brandXml_t" minOccurs="0"/>
          <xs:element name="other" type="tns:brandXml_t" minOccurs="0"/>
        </xs:sequence>
      </xs:extension>
    </xs:complexContent>
  </xs:complexType>

  <xs:complexType name="brandXml_t">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:any processContents="skip" namespace="##other" />
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>

And Here is my code snippet:
VixWinXml::file_t annotationFile(xml_schema::base64_binary(fileContent, size));
stringstream sstream;		
VixWinXml::annotationFile(sstream, annotationFile, localSerializationMap);
xsd::cxx::xml::dom::auto_ptr<xercesc::DOMDocument> domPtr = ObjectParser::parseToDom(sstream, "id", false);
add_namespace(domPtr.get(), domPtr->getDocumentElement(), "http://VixWinXml");
xercesc::DOMElement& e = *domPtr->getDocumentElement();
schema1::datawarehouse::brandXml_t b(e, xml_schema::flags::dont_validate, 0);
b.any().release();
b.any(e);	

I don't get default constructor created for me by Codesynthesis XSD. I have these 3 constructors that are created: 
// Constructors.
brandXml_t (const ::xercesc::DOMElement&);
brandXml_t (const ::xercesc::DOMElement& e,
		  ::xml_schema::flags f = 0,
		  ::xml_schema::container* c = 0);
brandXml_t (const brandXml_t& x,
		  ::xml_schema::flags f = 0,
		  ::xml_schema::container* c = 0);
				  
Ideally I would like to add my object (annotationFile) to add to brandXml_t any.
If I would have default empty constructor, I could add any object without "adding namespaces". I could write constructor myself, but I would like Codesynthesis to generate it.

Hi Albert,

You don't need to pass DOMDocument when creating your object (this constructor is used internally by XSD for XML parsing). Instead, your object will have a number of other constructors and one of them will take an argument for every required attribute and element (if you don't have any, then it will become the default constructor). That's also how the 'wildcard' example creates a new 'binary' object (driver.cxx:124) and adds it to the envelope.

If you are still having trouble instantiating your object, please show us the relevant XML Schema definitions.
