Created attachment 187455 [details]
source for schema gen

Take the following example (see attachment for more):

@XmlType
public class EmploymentPeriod {
	
	@XmlElement
	public MyDate startDate;
	
	@XmlElement
	public MyDate endDate;
}

@XmlType(namespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", name="date")
public class MyDate {
	
	@XmlValue
	public String value;
}


The reference implementation generates the following schema snippet:

  <xs:complexType name="employmentPeriod">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="startDate" type="xs:date" minOccurs="0"/>
      <xs:element name="endDate" type="xs:date" minOccurs="0"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>

where "xs" refers to the schema for schema namespace.

MOXy generates the following schema snippet:

   <xsd:import schemaLocation="schema1.xsd" namespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"/>
   <xsd:complexType name="employmentPeriod">
      <xsd:sequence>
         <xsd:element name="startDate" type="ns1:date" minOccurs="0"/>
         <xsd:element name="endDate" type="ns1:date" minOccurs="0"/>
      </xsd:sequence>
   </xsd:complexType>

where "ns1" refers to the imported schema, which is also generated thusly:

   <xsd:simpleType name="date">
      <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"/>
   </xsd:simpleType>
