How to handle abstract XML elements with XMLBeans

Question

Hello,
I have an xsd that uses abstract elements, and i wanted to ask you how can i create new XML Documents with XMLBeans? My problems is that i don't know how to handle abstaction with XMLBeans.
Let me show you a very simple example to make you understand my problem :
Suppose we have the following schema :
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://www.example.org" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.example.org">
     <xsd:element name="Customer" type="CustomerType" />
     <xsd:complexType name="CustomerType" abstract="true" />
     <xsd:complexType name="PremiumCustomerType">
          <xsd:complexContent>
               <xsd:extension base="CustomerType">
                    <xsd:sequence>
                         <xsd:element name="CreditCard" type="xsd:string" />
                    </xsd:sequence>
               </xsd:extension>
          </xsd:complexContent>
     </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>I use XMLBeans to create a jar with java classes according the xsd above. Then, in order to create a new xml document i use the following code :
CustomerDocument cd = CustomerDocument.Factory.newInstance();
CustomerType ct = cd.addNewCustomer();
PremiumCustomerType pct = PremiumCustomerType.Factory.newInstance();
ct.changeType(pct.schemaType());With this code i get an XML Document like the following :
<Customer type="PremiumCustomerType" />But after that, i cannot add an element CreditCard into this Customer element. Can anyone help me?

In Indesign there is no way you can directly work on the XML-IN footnote, since indesign won't support XML tags in footnote stream.
To achive that you need to have XSLT/Perl/Indesign Scripting.
This task is achievable, you can create a auto footnote for XML workflow projects.
1. Create an XSLT to transform the footnote to the respective places
2. Change all the "<" ">" to some standard names, since indesign won't accept XML tags in the footnote stream.
3. Import it in indesign and using script convert it to autofootnote.
