#5 Help with tag that can appear anywhere

[Claudio Kerov Ghiglianovich]

Hello,
I'm using the classes created with generateds only to write XML files and not read them. In particular, there is a type of tag which can be put inside any other tag, and I was wondering how to use the class. Usually when I have to add a tag inside another I just use the method "set_subtag" or "add_subtag", but in this case there is nothing. I attached the XML schema if it helps, the tag I'm referring to is called "userData".

Claudio,

Good to hear from you.

I generated a module from the OpenDRIVE XML schema with the
following command:

./generateDS.py -o opendrivelib.py OpenDRIVE_1.5M.xsd

Looking in the generated file (opendrivelib.py) and searching for class
t_userData ... It has an instance variable (member) named
anytypeobjs_. It is the result of the xs:any element inside
xs:complexClass named t_userData. It's a list, and you can, I
believe, add anything to it that you want. See methods in that
class named: get_anytypeobjs_, set_anytypeobjs_,
insert_anytypeobjs_, and add_anytypeobjs_. However, since
generateDS.py doesn't know what these objects are, it's support
for them is weak.

The xs:any inside of t_userData allows you to insert any other
object inside this one. However, in your message you ask about an
object that you want to insert inside of any other object. So, I
guess I have still not answered your question.

However, as a partial answer to that question you need to look in
the OpenDRIVE XML schema. Look where t_userData is referenced.
It's referred to in <xs:group name="g_additionalData">. And, that
is referred to (included in ?) lots of other complex types, for
example, in OpenDRIVE and t_header and t_header_GeoReference
and many more. In each of the classes generated from those complex
types, you will find methods get_userData, set_userData, and, if
it's a list also add_userData and insert_userData. You can add
a t_userData in any of those objects.

So, does that answer your question? Or, am I still not
understanding you correctly?

Dave

Okay, it does and apparently, I don't know why, I was using a file that was incomplete. Now I recreated the python file and the userData arguments are there. Thanks for your answer, if I'm still having problem I'll write again!
