Mapping an integer value to an <anyType> element
You can map an integer value to an <anyType> element.
Given the map below, the input value in the <any> element is a string, and you may want to set the string to the target <anyType>. Before the target can be set, a wrapper object needs to be created to set the <anyType>. If the type to be set on the <anyType> was a complexType then no wrapper object would need to be created. The wrapper data object needs to be created on simple types so that they can be set on the target <anyType> as DataObject.
Use this custom code to create the wrapper class:
ServiceManager serviceManager = new ServiceManager();
Bofactory bofactory = (BOFactory)serviceManager.locateService("com/ibm/websphere/bo/BOFactory");
BOXSDHelper xsdHelper = (BOXSDHelper)serviceManager.locateService("com/ibm/websphere/bo" );
// Retrieve the values in the xsd:any[] on the source and populate the target
Property anyProp = AnyElem.getInstanceProperty("globalElement1");
String anyStringData = (String)AnyElem.get(anyProp);
// // Create the wrapper object from the input Data
Type stringType = boType.getType("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "string");
DataObject wrappedStringDO = bofactory.createDataTypeWrapper(stringType, anyStringData);
To create a wrapper class for different simple types, use this code:
Type objectType = boType.getType("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "boolean");
Type objectType = boType.getType("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "int");
Type objectType = boType.getType("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "float");
Type objectType = boType.getType("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "double");
Type objectType = boType.getType("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "string");
Type objectType = boType.getType("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "byte");
Type objectType = boType.getType("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "long");
Type objectType = boType.getType("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "short");
Type objectType = boType.getType("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "hexBinary");
Type objectType = boType.getType("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "datetime");
Type objectType = boType.getType("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "decimal");
