Keeping generated XSD free from ecore [message #403420]

Hi,

I am trying to programatically generate an ecore model from a uml model
which I can then use to generate XML Schema and EMF code for manipulating
it. I want the generated schema to be free from references to ecore. I've
managed to map primitive types to types in XMLTypePackage but I still have
unwanted references.

The XSD being produced when I use the Export Model...->XML Schema tool is
as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:MyPackage="http:///MyPackage.ecore"
xmlns:ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" ecore:nsPrefix="MyPackage"
ecore:package="MyPackage" targetNamespace="http:///MyPackage.ecore">
<xsd:element ecore:ignore="true" name="MyClass"
type="MyPackage:MyClass"/>
<xsd:complexType name="MyClass">
<xsd:attribute name="myInteger" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:attribute name="myUnlimitedNatural" type="xsd:unsignedInt"/>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

What I'd like to do is remove the ecore namespace and the "ecore:ignore"
attribute.

Thanks,
Tas.

Tas,

We always generate all the annotations necessary to round trip the
result, so if you don't want those, you'll need to write a XSLT script
to remove them. (Of course we could provide an option not to generate
them too, but that's yet another feature request; one that's quite
simple to implement but we might not have time for.) All these things
are purely annotations so their presence should cause no problems nor
create dependencies that other tools can't handle (i.e., ignore).

Ed,

Thanks for the help. I didn't realise this was the reason for them...
makes sense now!

I have followed this discussion with great interest as well as I seem to be facing the same issue. Given that the original post is rather old by now, I was wondering if there is any update to removing the ecorenamespace from the XSD programatically.

Alternatively, I would be greatly interested in help in creating an XSLT document to achieve the removal of the unwanted namespaces from the resulting XSD.

I'm certainly no expert in XSLT. I'd probably just load the *.xsd as DOM, walk the DOM to remove attributes I don't want, and then serialize it again, all just using Java DOM.
