Unable to handle defined type 'javax.xml.datatype.Duration'

[VickF]

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply to the previous question. That helped me to get schemagen to run on a large XSD we received from another organization. There was only one type of error; on fields of type "xs:duration."

The error we get when fields fo type "xs:duration" are present is:

"Unable to handle defined type 'javax.xml.datatype.Duration'"

See com.nokia.util.avro.schemagen.SchemagenHelper.java, line 243.

This links shows the JAXB mapping for "xs:duration" is 'javax.xml.datatype.Duration', which makes sense.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jaxb/intro/bind.html

This link shows the XML definition of "duration" type, with example values:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#duration

This class seems to create a Duration for us, but only after we do the work of parsing out the individual fields from the string.

http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/javadocs/api/javax/xml/datatype/DatatypeFactory.html

As a workaround, I edited the .xsd file to say these fields are of type xs:string.

Thanks,
Vick

Some 'special' xml types like dates and big numbers are handled specially.

There is room to add a test for (what I presume will come out as) javax.xml.datatype.Duration. Assuming JAXB provides that, the question is, what avro type does this need to become?
