Description

While trying to build a project containing a large number of schemas, XMLBeans throws SchemaTypeLoaderException with the error message "Too many Strings (46252) ... index .... code 10".

After a quick glance at SchemaTypeSystemImpl.StringPool, the error message seems to be caused by the project having more schema element types than the hardcoded upper limit Short.MAX_VALUE, which is rough 32k.

Could someone please kindly clarify for me:

1. What is the significant of Short.MAX_VALUE ? Why Short.MAX_VALUE instead of something like Integer.MAX_VALUE?
2. Is it reasonable to ask for an increase in this upper limit?
3. Apart from splitting up my project into smaller modules with fewer element types, is there any other work-around solution for now?

Thanks!
