We have success fully used SBE for some point to point solutions. But in a large project I now have some issues using SBE for a larger schema.

To structure reuse between schemas we use a set of SBE schemas files and preprocessing/merging them to get common types across domains. Main goal is to share the processing and transformations needed at application level (mapping to reuse at SBE component level).

I noticed one side affect. If defining a composite that is referring to other composite and types, (in my case a ref to enum). It is the Java code generation that skips generating the enum if its not refereed somewhere at the top message level. I checked the Ir parser and it looks like its only generate what defined in a message not indirectly what is refereed from the underlying components. If I add a dummy message referring the enum at top message level the underlying components generates correctly.

Is that a bug or is it not supported with a component referring to types not used at message level?
