Hi,
Is there any util classes to generate sample xml from an xsd file? i know we
can use EMF to generate sample xml but it works with only eclipse UI...i am
looking for a stand-alone library to generate sample xml.
thanks

open-ended problem. Are you considering building one using XSD or are you just
looking for one that already works?

Hi Ed,
Thanks the quick reply. Yes i was looking for a util class which already
works with XSD?
I thought i could use EMF model to generate xml but EMF works only inside
eclipse. I want something stand-alone.
If you have some ideas on implementing this, please let me know..i can go
ahead and implement it for XSD project.

I don't have a lot of detailed thoughts on how to proceed. For a given schema
you'd consider all the global element declarations,
XSDSchema.getElementDeclarations, as candidates for the root element of an
instance. Then given the type definition of the root element, which is either
simple or complex, you'd use that information to generate either simple
content, or attribute and element content based on the complex type. You'd
have to guard against infinite recursion and you'd have to analyze carefully
the particle structure of a complex type to ensure you create a valid instance.

This sounds interesting. I'd like to have a look when it's available.

Hi,
I also works on some sort of XSD validator (generator) for simlpe XML files
on my student project - so if you could send some info, I will be greateful.
Anyway which method do you use for XML to XSD validation ?

I don't have any information on generating XML from XSD. As for validation,
there's XSDSimpleTypeDefinition.assess which can be used to validate a simple
value against a simple type, but there isn't such a method for validating a
complex value against a complex type because there's no support for that (yet).

Muruga,
Generating XML instances would be a very cool stand-alone application for the
XSD model, but we haven't done that yet. It's an interesting and somewhat
open-ended problem. Are you considering building one using XSD or are you just
looking for one that already works?

Muruga,
I'm not sure what you mean by "EMF works only inside Eclipse". EMF is layered
so that may of its parts, including models and even EMF.Edit, work standalone
without any other Eclipse jars on the classpath. The problem of generating
model instances from an Ecore model, is a very similar problem to generating
XML instances from an XML Schema model, though I think it's a significantly
simpler problem, since XML Schema is about 5-10 times more complicated than
Ecore (even though they have roughly the same expressive power).
I don't have a lot of detailed thoughts on how to proceed. For a given schema
you'd consider all the global element declarations,
XSDSchema.getElementDeclarations, as candidates for the root element of an
instance. Then given the type definition of the root element, which is either
simple or complex, you'd use that information to generate either simple
content, or attribute and element content based on the complex type. You'd
have to guard against infinite recursion and you'd have to analyze carefully
the particle structure of a complex type to ensure you create a valid instance.

project even as a starting point just let me know and I will send the
relevant info to the list when it is tested.

Rob,
This sounds interesting. I'd like to have a look when it's available.

Hi,
I also works on some sort of XSD validator (generator) for simlpe XML files
on my student project - so if you could send some info, I will be greateful.
Anyway which method do you use for XML to XSD validation ?

Stefan,
I don't have any information on generating XML from XSD. As for validation,
there's XSDSimpleTypeDefinition.assess which can be used to validate a simple
value against a simple type, but there isn't such a method for validating a
complex value against a complex type because there's no support for that (yet).
