Description

When retrieving XML using cursor.getObject, it appears not possible to cast the returned XML to a specific schema type even when the XML conforms to the schema. The following snippet attempts to retrieve elements using XPath, use a cursor to reach a returned element's parent, then cast the parent XML to a schema type. But the cast fails.

Code attached.

private String m_namespaceUri = "http://xmlbeans.apache.org/samples/any";

String namespaceDecl = "declare namespace any='" + m_namespaceUri
+ "'; ";
XmlObject[] someElements = rootDoc.selectPath(namespaceDecl
+ "$this//any:stringelement");

for (int i = 0; i < someElements.length; i++)
{
XmlCursor editCursor = someElements[i].newCursor();
editCursor.toParent();
ListOfStrings stringList = null;
try

{ // Shouldn't this cast work? // stringList = (ListOfStrings) editCursor.getObject(); System.out.println(stringList); }

catch (ClassCastException cce)

{ continue; }

}
