[Ext] Re: [xsd-users] Fails to parse complex type extensions

[Nicolas Weidmann]

Hello Boris,

Thank you for your answer.

I was already doing https://www.codesynthesis.com/projects/xsd/documentation/cxx/tree/manual/#2.11

But by re-reading that example, I realized it was the test document that was wrong...

It was <D>...</D> instead of <a xsi:type="D">...</a>

After the correction, my test successfully worked when std::dynamic_pointer_cast<D>(the_parsed_document)...

Thanks for your patience!

Regards,

Smells like polymorphism to me:
