• beanImplementationMap is a mapping from Class<?> to class names. Use this to specify proxy classes for interfaces (or abstract classes).

Global Type Creation Options

There are a few global options to the default type mapping process. You can control these by creating a org.apache.cxf.aegis.type.TypeCreationOptions and passing it into your AegisContext object.

There are four properties in the class, of which two are much more commonly used.

• defaultNillable defines the default value of the nillable attribute of xsd:element items in the xsd:sequences built for non-primitive types. By default it is true since any Java reference can be null. However, nillable='true' has annoying consequences in some wsdl2java tools (turning scalars into arrays, e.g.), and so many programmers prefer to default to false.

• defaultMinOccurs defines the default value of the minOccurs attribute of xsd:element items in the xsd:sequences built for Java arrays. In combination with nillable, programmers often want to adjust this value from 0 to 1 to get a more useful mapping of an array.

• defaultExtensibleElements causes each sequence to end with an xsd:any. The idea here is to allow for schema evolution; a client that has generated Java from one version of the service will tolerate data from a newer version that has additional elements. Use this feature with care; version management of web services is a complex topic, and xsd:any may have unexpected consequences.

• defaultExtensibleAttributes causes each element to permit any attribute. By default, Aegis doesn't map any properties or parameters to attributes. As with the element case, care is called for.
