Enum Type

Guideline: A Java enum type maps to an XML schema type constrained by enumeration facets. This, in turn, binds to the .NET type enum type.

Example: Java enum -> xs:simpleType (with enum facets) -> .NET enum

//-- Java code fragment
public enum USState {MA, NH}

//-- Schema fragment
<xs:simpleType name="usState">
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
        <xs:enumeration value="NH" />
        <xs:enumeration value="MA" />
    </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

// .NET auto generated code from schema
public enum usState { NH, MA }
