Change subject: restapi: "id" as XML attribute ...................................................................... restapi: "id" as XML attribute Currently some of the entities of the model explicity define an "id" attribute instead of extending the "Identified" interface. For example, the "LogicalUnit" entity defines its own "id" attribute. As a result the generated XML complex type contains an inner "id" element: <xs:complexType name="LogicalUnit"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="id" type="xs:string" .../> ... </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> But the "id" attribute should always be represented as an XML attribute, as that is what was done in previous versions of the API, and it is a common practice in other usages of XML. To solve this problem this patch changes the XML schema generator so that it will take into account that some model attributes need to be represented as XML attributes instead of inner elements. The "id" attribute is the only one that needs this special treatment at the moment, but the pach implements a more generic approach, just in case. The resulting representation, for example for "LogicalUnit", will be the following: <xs:complexType name="LogicalUnit"> <xs:sequence> ... </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:string"/> </xs:complexType> Change-Id: I046b8bd2f71e0add754e4193885aeb8ba7110e70 Signed-off-by: Juan Hernandez <juan.hernandez(a)redhat.com&gt; --- M backend/manager/modules/restapi/metamodel/tool/src/main/java/org/ovirt/api/metamodel/tool/SchemaGenerator.java M backend/manager/modules/restapi/metamodel/tool/src/main/java/org/ovirt/api/metamodel/tool/SchemaNames.java 2 files changed, 48 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) Approvals: Martin Peřina: Verified; Looks good to me, but someone else must approve Juan Hernandez: Verified; Looks good to me, approved Jenkins CI: Passed CI tests -- To view, visit https://gerrit.ovirt.org/50320 To unsubscribe, visit https://gerrit.ovirt.org/settings Gerrit-MessageType: merged Gerrit-Change-Id: I046b8bd2f71e0add754e4193885aeb8ba7110e70 Gerrit-PatchSet: 3 Gerrit-Project: ovirt-engine Gerrit-Branch: master Gerrit-Owner: Juan Hernandez <juan.hernandez(a)redhat.com&gt; Gerrit-Reviewer: Jenkins CI Gerrit-Reviewer: Juan Hernandez <juan.hernandez(a)redhat.com&gt; Gerrit-Reviewer: Martin Peřina <mperina(a)redhat.com&gt; Gerrit-Reviewer: gerrit-hooks <automation(a)ovirt.org&gt;
