Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2008 9:00 am Post subject: Splitting JAXB Schema's Across Netbeans RCP Modules? |
|
|
We are looking at making an editor application using a module based plug-in
architecture. In this application an editable object is persisted as XML and
can contain other editable objects by either reference or value. We have
existing JAXB / XSD schema's for all these objects but they were previously
grouped together into a single common package in our legacy application. We
now have to look at how we can split the schema's into their own objects
relevent plug-in module.
Once this is done in order to read these complex XML based objects back in
we need to be able to recognise a foreign XML based object within the
parents XML file and query the central registry for the relevent classes to
convert that piece of the XML to the object then returning control back to
the parent using a commonly recognised interface.
Is there any similar implementations to this already out there(or primitive
example), within the netbeans application itself perhaps? Or does anyone
have any best practice suggestions on how to tackle this, be it through JAXB
or some alternative XML parser.
Thanks,
Craig

| I have done a similar thing of collecting-merging configuration files
from different modules for persistence.xml from JPA - but I don't know
how similar is to your case, which indeed I bet is more complex than
mine. But perhaps the idea of collecting single chunks of definitions
and merging them into a single file could apply as well.
The links are here:

http://netbeans.dzone.com/news/netbeans-jpa-part-two
There were some open problems, but were specifically related to JPA;
also, the posts are from June and the code has been improved in the
meantime. If feel it's of interest for your problem, please ask
questions directly in this mailing list, since it looks as an
appropriate topic).
