On a side note, I'm not sure if this is of use to anyone else but I built an XJC plugin that allows you to have generated classes of your choice extend or implement another class.
So for instance, we have a bunch of top level classes which are generated by xsds, however they don't extend from a common type and we don't have control over the schemas. So I tell the plugin that certain classes should have a super type, and when the class gets generated it winds up with a fresh implements or extends section depending on the supertype chosen... The format of the plugin's config file is: super.type=generated.type1[, generated.type2, generated.type3,...] In my case: eclaims.model.EClaimsRequest=org.hl7.v3.FICRIN600106CA,org.hl7.v3.FICRIN620106CA,org.hl7.v3.FICRIN100206CA,org.hl7.v3.FICRIN600104CA,org.hl7.v3.FICRIN620104CA,org.hl7.v3.FICRIN100204CA eclaims.model.EClaimsResponse=org.hl7.v3.FICRIN610106CA,org.hl7.v3.FICRIN610104CA,org.hl7.v3.FICRIN630106CA,org.hl7.v3.FICRIN630206CA,org.hl7.v3.FICRIN630104CA,org.hl7.v3.FICRIN630204CA,org.hl7.v3.FICRIN110306CA,org.hl7.v3.FICRIN110304CA EClaimsRequest/Response are simply an interfaces (without any methods) that allows us to pass those underlying generated HL7 types around to our service methods instead of them accepting java.lang.Object. At runtime, if need be, the type has to be checked if something special needs to be done with it, but that could probably done smarter. Craig.
