SV: Is there a way to instantiate a root element and have all sub-elements also created?

If the newInstance would create instances of all subelements, this could 
potentially create very large objects depending on your xsd. (Emagine creating 
an instance from an ordernary HTML definition, this would produce a lot of 
empty tags in the result)
As far as I know there is no such functionality, and I'm not sure that's what 
you normally would need to have.
 
A suggestion to solve your issue is to create xml-files with the subelements 
you want instansiated and create your instance with the parse method.
 
Perhaps you could create different default xml's for different situations. This 
way you could also fill your instance with default values or mandatory values.

Ämne: Is there a way to instantiate a root element and have all sub-elements 
also created?


When I do a Root.Factory.newInstance(), the Root object is created, but all the 
sub-elements of Root are not.  So when I try root.getSubelementA().whatever(), 
I get a null error because subelementA is not instantiated. Is there a way to 
call a new instance but have it create deeply all the sub-elements of Root so 
that this doesn't occur?  Likewise, when I call root.addSubelement(), the new 
Subelement does not instantiate its constituent parts.  

So I guess my question is, is there an easy way to instantiate all the 
constituent parts of an object instead of just the bare object itself?  Thanks.
