[xsd-users] --ordered-type-xxx breaks serialization

[killtech at gmx.net]

Hi everybody,

I'm using the XSD code generator for reading some complex XML files,
"patch" some data, and store the XML file back.

In order to check the input and the output file, I use the
--ordered-type-all option so that I can use graphical diff tools like
kdiff3.

Up to now, I was just patching some attribute values or the content of
pure text nodes. Everything has been working fine.

Now, I have to extend some element lists (elements with minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded") and try to export the XML file again: my new item
is NOT stored.

I've tried various approaches, tried to create empty lists and fill them
afterwords - neither worked.

After two days of trail & error, I started with a new test program (from
your Hello world example) and extended the schema one by one to fulfill
my needs: Everything worked as expected =-O

... until I found out that the compilation of the test program doesn't
use the "--ordered-type-all" option. If I add this option to the
Makefile, the simple test program also fails to store extended lists.

If you need some example code, feel free to contact me.

Hk
