This example shows how to parse, store in the object model, and serialize XML data matched by XML Schema wildcards (any and anyAttribute) using the Embedded C++/Hybrid mapping. This example uses the custom data mechanism to store the wildcard data in the object model as well as parser and serializer customization to parse and serialize the wildcard data. For more information, see Section 4.8, "Customizing the Object Model" and Section 6.1, "Customizing Parsers and Serializers" in the Embedded C++/Hybrid Mapping Getting Started Guide. The 'wildcard' example in the examples/cxx/hybrid/custom/ directory shows how to do the same but using type customization instead of custom data. The example consists of the following files: email.xsd XML Schema which describes a simple email format with the extensible envelope type. email.xml Sample email message. email.hxx email.cxx email-pskel.hxx email-pskel.cxx email-pimpl.hxx email-pimpl.cxx email-pskel.hxx email-pskel.cxx email-pimpl.hxx email-pimpl.cxx Object model (the first pair of files), parser skeletons (the second pair), parser implementations (the third pair), serializer skeletons (the fourth pair), and serializer implementations (the fifth pair). These files are generated by the XSD/e compiler from email.xsd. The --generate-parser, --generate-serializer, and --generate-aggregate options were used to request the generation of the parsing and serialization code. The --custom-data option was used to request addition of custom data to the envelope class in the object model. The --custom-parser option was used to customize the envelope_pimpl parser implementation. The --custom-serializer option was used to customize the envelope_simpl serializer implementation. body.hxx body.cxx Implementation of the body class. It is used to store the wildcard data in the custom data sequence in the envelope class. envelope-pimpl.hxx envelope-pimpl.cxx Custom envelope parser implementation. It uses the implementation generated by the XSD/e compiler as a base and overrides the wildcard callbacks to parse the wildcard content and store it as custom data in the envelope object. envelope-simpl.hxx envelope-simpl.cxx Custom envelope serializer implementation. It uses the implementation generated by the XSD/e compiler as a base and overrides the wildcard callbacks to serialize the wildcard content stored as custom data in the envelope object. driver.cxx Driver for the example. It first calls the parser that constructs the email object from the input XML file. It then prints the content of the email to STDERR. Finally, the driver creates a reply email and calls the serializer to serialize it to XML. To run the example on the sample XML instance document simply execute: $ ./driver email.xml The example reads from STDIN if input file is not specified: $ ./driver
