Question

I have this big doubt.
When ever i use base64Binary in an .xsd schema and use JaxB to transform it to a Java class, the type i get is byte[].

I want to create such schema that the java type being generated out of it is java.awt.Image.
Is this possible?

I tried something like this:

<element name="name" type="base64Binary" xmime:expected(entreTypes = "image/jpeg")/>

The result was byte[].

I know that out a java.awt.Image if i transform into an schema i get just

<element name="name" type="base64Binary"/>

But is there any way to get it java.awt.Image out of the .xsd?

Answer 1

You can change your the element declaration in your XML schema to look like the following to generate an java.awt.Image type:

<xsd:element name="name"
    type="xsd:base64Binary"
    xmime:expectedContentTypes="image/jpeg"/>
