Re: XMLBeans 2.0 - Problem with derived/extended schema elements

This sounds like a Java problem more than an XMLBeans problem. From
the sounds of it you are trying to cast up. In other words you
AddressType -> Cannot be cast to -> EmployeeAddress
But you were expecting something like this.
EmployeeAddress -> Can be cast to -> AddressType

Rather than use constructors from EmployeeAddressImpl, why not use the
EmployeeAddress.Factory.parse(...)/newInstance(...)
based on how you are writing/starting your instance.
