This sample illustrates how you can use the XMLBeans API to work with
|
||
|
|
XML based on schema that features xs:any particles. Unlike other schema
|
||
|
|
types, xs:any in schema does not result in accessors when you use XMLBeans
|
||
|
|
to compile schema. Instead, your code must use alternate means to access
|
||
|
|
and create these parts of the XML. These alternate means include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Using XmlCursor instances to "walk" the XML, retrieving and creating
|
||
|
|
elements.
|
||
|
|
- Using the selectPath method to retrieve XML via XPath.
|
||
|
|
- Using the selectChildren method to retrieve elements that are children
|
||
|
|
by name.
|
||
|
|
- Using the DOM API to "walk" the node tree, retrieving elements by
|
||
|
|
name and creating new elements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you run this sample, you'll see it print four blocks of information
|
||
|
|
in the console:
|
||
|
|
- Results of the Any.buildDocFromScratch method, which builds from scratch the
|
||
|
|
XML contents of any.xml included with this sample.
|
||
|
|
- Results of the Any.editExistingDocWithSelectChildren method, which receives
|
||
|
|
any.xml and replaces one of its elements.
|
||
|
|
- Results of the Any.editExistingDocWithDOM method, which receives
|
||
|
|
any.xml and adds an element.
|
||
|
|
- Results of the Any.editExistingDocWithSelectPath method, which receives
|
||
|
|
any.xml, promotes one of its elements, and adds a new element.
|

|
To try out this sample:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Set XMLBEANS_HOME in your environment
|
||
|
|
2. Ant must be on your PATH
|
||
|
|
3. To compile the schemas and sample source, run "ant build"
|
||
|
|
4. To execute the sample, run "ant run"
