[Xml-compile] Unexpected return type extension ?

[DEIGNAN Ciaran]

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately the service definition doesn't give any hint that the response will be extended, so that's probably a defect in the application...

<xs:complexType name="createNodeResponse">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="return">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element form="qualified" minOccurs="0" name="node" type="ns1:AbstractNodeType"></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

Thanks anyhow,
Ciaran

Not in the generic case.  That is the disadvantage of being a "compiler":
you need to know what to expect beforehand.  That's also an advantage:
the chance that you receive something unexpected is smaller... that's a
good thing for interfaces.

>From your example, I cannot see whether this uses substitutionGroup's
(which is simple to use, automagically works... generate example template
to see how) or xsi:type.  For the latter see xsiType() in
XML::LibXML::Cache and
http://search.cpan.org/~markov/XML-Compile-1.39/lib/XML/Compile/Schema.pod#Handling_xsi:type
(which does lack the reference to the ::Cache::xsiType()... I'll add
that for the next release)
