[xsd-users] ID/IDREF problem

[Mathew Benson]

Thanks for the help.  I don't want to waste your time, so I'm trying to
verify that the object model is not copied anywhere in my code or the
framework I'm using.  I can't see how the underlying framework (not xsd
generated code) would copy just a fragment of the object model, but it is
possible the framework is copying the entire object I created and
unmarshalled.  Could that cause this problem?  What if the copy constructor
was not overridden in the derived class?  Also, why would this work when I
move the ID and IDREF elements from the <choice> block to a <sequence>
block?
