Class reuse with JAXB bindings don't honour SimpleTypes

jaxb, maven-jaxb2-plugin

Solution

If the generated class you are trying to reference is an enumeration (i.e. it implements `javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlEnum`), then you need to use:

jaxb:typesafeEnumClass

instead of

jaxb:class

in the bindings.

Problem

I'm trying to reuse classes that are already compiled and available. This looks to be achievable by declaring bindings to the pre-existing classes as per example bindings extract below:- ``` <jaxb:bindings schemaLocation="MyExample.xsd"> <jaxb:bindings node="//xs:simpleType[@name='MySimpleType']"> <jaxb:class ref="com.example.MySimpleType" /> </jaxb:bindings> <jaxb:bindings node="//xs:complexType[@name='MyComplexType']"> <jaxb:class ref="com.example.MyComplexType" /> </jaxb:bindings> </jaxb:bindings> ``` The problem is that whilst complex types work just fine, the simple types are ignored and still generated.... I've tried a variety of different notations (e.g. scd) with no success on the Simple Types. Any ideas or help very welcome....
