Using XSD with XML for importing XML [message #69551] Wed, 06 September 2006 11:26 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm a little stuck. I have the following scenario.

Within my runtime jar I have a set of xml schemas under the location
xml-schema/name.xsd and I wish to allow someone to submit a Document or
string representation of the document to an importing procedure. I'm
looking to obtain a footing, so that I may traverse the XML whilst
referencing the correct parts of the XSD schema to obtain application
information relevant.

What is the best way to load both these schemas allowing me to get all the
correct information via an API?

Where should I start?

Thanks,
Stuart

Stuart,

You could use Class.getResource to determine the URL for the schema and
then load the schema from that URL just as in
org.eclipse.xsd.example.XSDMainExample.java's loadAndPrint.

One of the problems I am facing is that the method EPackage
getPackageForURI(String uriString) in
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.impl.XMLHandler does not seem to load the XML
Schema as it does not try class.getResource("xml-schema/Name.xsd").

Can I override the XMLHandler or is this a bug?

My code is the following:

XMLResourceImpl xmlResource = new XMLResourceImpl();
try
{
xmlResource.doLoad(inputSource, null);
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

Hi Ed,

Loading the schema is fine, the problem is that I don't see any API help
to load an XML resource which helps you to relate it to the schema when
processing it.

The following code loads the XML and the schema file, this works ok. The
problem is that the hooks which are used to traverse the XML are rather
weakly typed.

How can I improve the runtime knowledge of where I am traversing the XML
and where to look in the xml schema? I don't see a clear link between the
two very much related technologies. Maybe I am missing something...

Thanks,
Stuart
