JAXB creating Nested Interface from XSD Definition

[Brett Selleck]

We have an issue where the JAXB generated classes are creating an
interface which references itself. The Schema is valid, and I have
not seen this ran into before. The code is below. What is interesting,
is if I change the name of ErrorType to Error the issue goes away.

Has anyone else ran into this issue? Do you have a solution?

The pertanant part of the schema:

<snip>

<xsd:element name="Errors" type="ErrorType"/>
<xsd:complexType name="ErrorType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Error" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:all>
<xsd:element name="ErrorCode">
<xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="ErrorMessageText">
<xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:all>
<xsd:attribute name="Level" type="xsd:string" use="required"/>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

and the Java Code that JAXB generated
