Re: Any JAVA2XSD or JAVA2Schema ????

This is something that software such as XML Spy do well for you.
Personally I do not see Axis doing that for you and it cannot be fully automated since XSD contains constraints that cannot be guessed by the transformation process... XML to DTD will be easy but a full blown XML to Schema is impossible. The Microsoft tool might just put everything as Strings.... Try XML-Spy or some other XML editing tools.

Thanks Glen. Really appreciate your time.
I found one other utility in the .NET platform SDK
that is interesting..... It is called XSD.exe and
allows one to generate XSD from XML instances, apart
from various other operations.
Is there a similar functionality in the AXIS/SOAP
boundaries....
Any pointers will be very helpful.

TIA,
S.

Essentially we have metadata
associated with your Java class which tells the
runtime how to map fields to
and from XML elements and attributes.  Eventually
I'd like to see us get to the
point where we can use the XML->Java and Java->XML
code outside the context of
SOAP invocations, and that would include tools like
Java2XML and XML2Java.
There are other toolkits which do this kind of thing
now, such as Castor, and
the upcoming JAXB specification from Sun is also in
this space.

Subject: Any JAVA2XSD or JAVA2Schema ????

Hi,
How does the AXIS FW/tool validate the SOAP/XML
payload that it receives from a client. I would

guess

there is some sort of "schema" or "DTD"[i doubt

so]

that is associated with the xml data that is sent
across the wire. Or is it just the

"well-formed"ness

that would suffice.

Is there a way to retrieve the schema information

for

the XML payload, if it is generated at all.

If not, is there a JAVA2XSD or JAVA2Schema type

util

just like JAVA2WSDL.....???
Any input is greatly appreciated...

Thank you very much,
S.
