Question

I have a XSD scheme but I cannot change the Scheme 

<xs:attribute name="zbpName" type="Zbp_NC" use="required"/>
<xs:attribute name="zbpType" type="ZBPTYP_CL" use="required"/

Generation of Java-Classes works, but I want to ignore the Attribute use=”required”. Is there a way to ignore this?

I want to get this result when I marshal.

<protectionPoint zbpName="Protection Point - 0">

But in the moment I get this result….

<protectionPoint zbpNotes="" zbpStation="" zbpInterlockingName="" zbpType="" zbpName="Protection Point - 0">

It is because the generated Clasess have this Annotation.

@XmlAttribute(name = "zbpStation", required = true)

But the should look like this…

@XmlAttribute(name = "zbpStation")

Thanks for your help 😉

I think you can just create your own class with correct annotations and use it instead of old one, e.g.:

public interface TestInterface {
    Integer getField();     
}

public class TestClass implements TestInterface{

    @Attribute(required = true)
    private Integer field;

    public TestClass() {
    }

    public TestClass(Integer field) {
        this.field = field;
    }

    public Integer getField() {
        return field;
    }

    public void setField(Integer field) {
        this.field = field;
    }
}

public class NewTestClass implements TestInterface{

    @Attribute
    private Integer field;

    public NewTestClass() {
    }

    public NewTestClass(Integer field) {
        this.field = field;
    }

    public Integer getField() {
        return field;
    }

    public void setField(Integer field) {
        this.field = field;
    }
}

Actually, it depends on what access you have to target class.
