RE: Enumerated types

I have a different issue about the enumeration from
Xmlbeans. I look for
a way to enable or disable enumeration check without having
to modify,
(say, add/remove one item defined in the schema enumeration
block and
recompile to Java type via Xmlbeans). In other words, I try
to find a
way to by-pass the enumeration validation check when parsing
an XML
document. 

There are always new items from XML document beyond what
have already
defined in the schema enumeration block. If this happens,
Xmlbeans
always give an error, saying
"XmlOutofRangeException". I was intent to
work around this without modifying the schema, but couldn't
get it work.

Any idea or suggestion is appreciated.

Hi Jason,
I'm not sure why this is the case, but if its really an
issue, I think
you could modify the generated src or modify your index to
start at one.

 static final int INT_FOO = 1;
 static final int INT_BAZ = 2;

I've attached an example src file in case you wanted to peek
at it.
I've never needed an Enum value to have a int val beginning
at zero

switch(enumVal)
      case Enum.INT_FOO:
         doSomething();
         break;
     // ....

And so using this code, I do not need the enumeration value
to be a
specific int. This also makes the code a little easier to
read as well.

Hope this helps,
-Jacob Danner

Hi Siwei,
I have to ask, why the need for enumerations if you don't
want the
check or validation. Why not just use a String type?
As far as I understand xsd:enumerations to work, they say,
you can
only use value A, B, or C. If the value is NOT A, B,  or C
then this
is not a valid enumeration.


Back to your problem, if you are doing something like
SomeXmlObject.Factory.parse(...)
and don't want this to fail validation, you might be able to
try using
the XmlOptions API with methods setCompileNoValidation()

Hope this helps,
-Jacob Danner
