[xsd-users] Reusing schema components

[Joel Stein]

Hi,

I have a situation where I have 2 schemas that have overlapping components.  Example:

<foo>
  <a>1</a>
  <b>2</b>
  <c>3</c>
</foo>

<bar>
  <b>2</b>
  <c>3</c>
  <d>4</d>
</bar>

I would love to take a bar and make a new foo and do foo.setB(bar.getB()) and foo.setC(bar.getC()).  There seems to be 2 problems:


1)      (a small problem) the types don't match up in C++, even though they do in the schemas.

2)      In VC++9.0 (though it seems not in g++), I get a TON of linker errors (LNK2005 already defined) complaining about duplicate definitions of the shared components.

I'm using xsd-tree to generate code for a whole bunch of xsds in the same namespace that have overlapping names in their elements.  There must be a common solution to this.

Thanks!
Joel
