[pyxb-users] Issues generating an XML with multiple complexType instances using BIND and/or append

[Ajinkya F. <aji...@gm...>]

I'd like to have multiple instances of complexTypes in an XML created from
the bindings. Not sure if/how this can be done using BIND and/or append.
Will try and explain with an example i'm playing with.

*XML Schema…*
<xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

    <xs:element name="Organization" type="OrganizationType"/>

    <xs:complexType name="OrganizationType">
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="Name" type="xs:string"/>
            <xs:element name="Employee" type="EmployeeType"/>
        </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>

    <xs:complexType name="EmployeeType">
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="Name" type="xs:string"/>
            <xs:element name="Address" type="AddressType"/>
        </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>

    <xs:complexType name="AddressType">
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="Street" type="xs:string"/>
            <xs:element name="Town" type="xs:string"/>
            <xs:element name="County" type="xs:string"/>
            <xs:element name="PostCode" type="xs:integer”/>
            <xs:element name="Country" type="xs:string"/>
        </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>

</xs:schema>


*Used the above schema for generating bindings…*
pyxbgen -u organization.xsd -m organization


*Used the ‘organization’ module for generating an xml...*
import organization
import pyxb

org = organization.Organization()
org.Employee = pyxb.BIND()
org.Employee.Address = pyxb.BIND()
org.Name = 'company1’
org.Employee.Name = 'name1’
org.Employee.Address.Street = 'street1’
org.Employee.Address.Town = 'town1’
org.Employee.Address.County = 'county1’
org.Employee.Address.PostCode = 54545
org.Employee.Address.Country = 'US'
print (org.toxml('utf-8', element_name='Organization'))


*Output…*
<Organization>
  <Name>company1</Name>
    <Employee>
        <Name>name1</Name>
        <Address>
            <Street>street1</Street>
            <Town>town1</Town>
            <County>county1</County>
            <PostCode>54545</PostCode>
            <Country>US</Country>
        </Address>
    </Employee>
</Organization>


*What i'd like the o/p to be…*
<Organization>
    <Name>company1</Name>
    <Employee>
        <Name>name1</Name>
        <Address>
            <Street>street1</Street>
            <Town>town1</Town>
            <County>county1</County>
            <PostCode>54545</PostCode>
            <Country>US</Country>
        </Address>
        <Address>
            <Street>street2</Street>
            <Town>town2</Town>
            <County>county2</County>
            <PostCode>77777</PostCode>
            <Country>US</Country>
        </Address>
    </Employee>
</Organization>

*OR…*
<Organization>
    <Name>company1</Name>
    <Employee>
        <Name>name1</Name>
        <Address>
            <Street>street1</Street>
            <Town>town1</Town>
            <County>county1</County>
            <PostCode>54545</PostCode>
            <Country>US</Country>
        </Address>
    </Employee>
    <Employee>
        <Name>name2</Name>
        <Address>
            <Street>street2</Street>
            <Town>town2</Town>
            <County>county2</County>
            <PostCode>45454</PostCode>
            <Country>UK</Country>
        </Address>
    </Employee>
</Organization>

Would really appreciate if any one here could point me to the right
direction. I believe BIND and append/extend will do the job. I have tried
them from this link
http://sourceforge.net/p/pyxb/discussion/956708/thread/c3da791a/#922f but
nothing has worked out so far.

Thank you.
