Integration

It doesn't itself, but since you can feed jaxb a DOM document from any source, you can always use a processor that does support xinclude and feed the result to the unmarshaller. Try this:

(1) Get the XInclude Engine at http://xincluder.sourceforge.net/

(2) build the xinclude document with something like:


DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware( true );
factory.setCoalescing( true );
DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
InputSource input = new InputSource();
input.setByteStream( new FileInputStream( fname ) );
Document masterDoc = parser.parse( input );
Document doc = DOMXIncluder.merge( masterDoc, input.getSystemId() );

(3) then unmarshal the document with:

JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "my.context" );
Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller();
MyClass x = (MyClass) u.unmarshal( doc );

there's probably a faster Sax equivalent of this. Also works (better) with Castor.

hope this helps,

Oops! sorry: looking at it again, I see I misread your question. I thought you meant using xinclude in a datafile (which I'd just worked out how to do) rather than in a schema (which I haven't worked out). Apologies.

Graham

Yes. JAXB 1.0 supports included and imported schemas.
Can you please attach the COS.xsd too
