XML Schema
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="customer" type="customer-type"/>
<xsd:complexType name="customer-type">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="picture" type="xsd:hexBinary"/>
<xsd:element name="resume" type="xsd:base64Binary"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
Code Sample
XMLDirectMapping pictureMapping = new XMLDirectMapping();
pictureMapping.setAttributeName("picture");
pictureMapping.setXPath("picture/text()");
XMLField pictureField = (XMLField) pictureMapping.getField();
pictureField.setSchemaType(XMLConstants.HEX_BINARY_QNAME);
Mapping to a Union Field:
XML Schema
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="customer" type="customer-type"/>
<xsd:complexType name="customer-type">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="shoe-size" type="size-type"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:simpleType name="size-type">
<xsd:union memberTypes="xsd:decimal xsd:string"/>
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:schema>
Code Sample
XMLDirectMapping shoeSizeMapping = new XMLDirectMapping();
shoeSizeMapping.setAttributeName("shoeSize");
XMLUnionField shoeSizeField = new XMLUnionField();
shoeSizeField.setXPath("shoe-size/text()");
shoeSizeField.addSchemaType(XMLConstants.DECIMAL_QNAME);
shoeSizeField.addSchemaType(XMLConstants.STRING_QNAME);
shoeSizeMapping.setField(shoeSizeField);
Preserving the Node Type: If the type of a node is not defined in your XML schema, you can configure an XML Direct Mapping to use the xsi:type attribute to provide type information.
Code Sample
XMLDirectMapping numberMapping = new XMLDirectMapping();
numberMapping.setAttributeName("number");
numberMapping.setXPath("number/text()");
XMLField numberField = (XMLField) numberMapping.getField();
numberField.setIsTypedTextField(true);
