'Namespace defined through QName is not shown in xsi:type attribute leading to validation failure
Here is my problem.
I have an xsd in which the need of polymorphism is answered by the use of xs:extension as follows:
<xs:complexType name="abstract_item" abstract="true">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="blabla" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="itemA">
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="abstract_item">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="blabla1" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1">
</xs:sequence>
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="itemB">
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="abstract_item">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="blabla2" type="xs:date" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1">
</xs:sequence>
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
The JaxB classes appear to be correctly generated using xjc (two classes ItemA and ItemB extending an abstract class AbstractItem)
During marshaling a namespace is specified with QName (can't do without as it's part of the framework I'm obliged to use ...)
Document document = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().newDocument();
JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(retour.getClass());
Marshaller marshaller = context.createMarshaller();
QName qtag = new QName(retour.getNameSpace(), retour.getName());
marshaller.marshal(new JAXBElement(qtag, retour.getClass(), retour), document);
return document.getDocumentElement();
The generated XML looks something like :
<ns2:retour xmlns:ns2="https://my.custom.namespace">
<items>
<item xsi:type="itemA" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<blabla>test</blabla>
<blabla1>A</blabla1>
</item>
<item xsi:type="itemB" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<blabla>test</blabla>
<blabla2>01.01.2022</blabla2>
</item>
</items>
</ns2:retour>
This xml is invalid with respect to the xsd because the types itemA and itemB are unknown.
What is expected here is instead xsi:type="ns2:itemA" resp. xsi:type="ns2:itemB"
Is there an annotation that allows to force jaxb to annotate the xsi:type with the QName namespace given when marshaling?
