[xsd-users] Map types on std::pair and std::map

[Chris Delnooz]

Hi all,

I am wondering if it would be possible to map certain complex types onto std::pair and std::map or something that behaves similarly. Basically, I have the following types:

	<xs:complexType name="LabelWeight">
		<xs:sequence/>
		<xs:attribute name="label" use="optional" type="xs:integer"/>
		<xs:attribute name="weight" use="optional" type="xs:integer"/>
	</xs:complexType>

Ideally, I would like to map this on a std::pair<int, int>, I have the feeling I should be able to do that with a bit of tinkering along the lines of the xsd:datetime example, but I can't quite grasp it yet.

In the second case, I have something like the following snippet

	<xs:complexType name="Settings">
		<xs:sequence>
			<xs:element name="allowedFeatures" type="EnabledFeatures" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
		</xs:sequence>
	</xs:complexType>
	<xs:complexType name="EnabledFeatures">
		<xs:sequence>
			<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
			<xs:element name="features" type="xs:boolean" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
		</xs:sequence>
	</xs:complexType>

In this case I would ideally end up with "allowedFeatures" being a std::map<string, sequence<bool> >. This would probably involve mapping EnabledFeatures onto a pair again, but is there any way to generate a map-like container out of the "allowedFeatures" association?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
