Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

I need help with marshaling of the following XML structure:
I have an XSD file that contains the following structure:

    ...
    <xs:element name="UAListStruct">
	<xs:complexType>
	       <xs:sequence>
		<xs:element name="UA" type="cmsi-commun:UAType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
	       </xs:sequence>
	</xs:complexType>				
     </xs:element>
     ...

Where the definition of UAType is:

<xs:simpleType name="UAType">
		<xs:restriction base="xs:hexBinary">
			<xs:length value="5"/>
		</xs:restriction>
	</xs:simpleType>

The corresponding Java class member that is being generated for this code is:

@XmlElementRef(name = "UA", namespace = "http://www.viaccess.com/tdr/cmsi/xml/emulator", type = JAXBElement.class)
        protected List<JAXBElement<byte[]>> ua;

Now, the problem that I encounter is that marshalling of the generated object, writes the value as xs:base64Binary and not as xs:hexBinary.

Note: I tried to generate a similiar structure in which the base of UAType was xs:base64Binary (instead of xs:hexBinary) and the class member that has being generated was not a list of JAXBElements but rather a simple list of bytes[]. I guess it has to do with some default.

One last comment - I have not so few occurecnces of structures like UAListStruct that contains sequences of complex types that hold hexBinary (like UAType above) so I would rather use a generic solution rather that changing something specific in each JAXC generated file (but if there is no other solution - I would be happy to hear about the specific solution).

I would appriciate your kind assistance.

Thanks
Carmel
