It is hard to say for certain what's wrong without more details.
I don't even know what kind of output you are talking about, XML,
ostream, binary?

But, most likely, you didn't tell XSD that the root of your
hierarchy is polymorphic with the --polymorphic-type option.
You could also use --polymorphic-type-all though that is not
recommended since it can result in significant code bloat.
