| Finding possible values for enumerations from XSD [message #76094] |

I found this package after searching the web for something to help me
solve my problem:
I have an XML file that a user must edit and an XSD against which to
validate the resulting XML file.
I need to retrieve all the possible values for a field in this XML file
from a XSD file (to populate a dropdown with possible values for the end
user).
Can I use the functionality of this package to write something like that?
Or am I barking up the totally wrong tree here?
Any pointers would be much appreciated.

So you'll write your service in Java, but it will be used by some other
service that's not written in Java. You'll just exchange XML.

EMF works standalone just on the Java classpath. So does the generated
model. And the XSD model too...

The XSD model is mostly focused on validating XSD instances, not so
much on validating XML documents whether they conform to the XSD.

Etienne,
Try this tutorial:
Tutorial: Generating an EMF Model using XML Schema
< http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclips e.emf.doc/tutorials/xlibmod/xlibmod.html>
The Web Tools project also as an XML editor that will validate the XML
against the XSD...

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I will work through the tutorial and see how I can apply that to my code.
By the way, the code I am writing will be exposed as a service to be used
by a front end that is not even written in Java.
My service must take the XSD and XML tag path as inputs and then return
all the valid values for that tag as output.
So, even though I'll be looking at the Eclipse editor functionality this
project gives me (for myself), my code will not be used in an Eclipse
environment.
I'm currently using the built-in Java XSD validation functionality, but
will definately be looking at this project's functionality for XML
validation against an XSD as it may give me less criptic feedback in the
case of failing validation than the standard Java libraries.
Thanks
Etienne

The XSD model is mostly focused on validating XSD instances, not so
