Thanks Obrand and i appreciate your time. I tried XMLSpy... albeit it generates the XSD, i cannot say it is 100% accurate.... It "Guessed" some of the datatypes incorrectly.... I had to review the XSD completely and make a lot of changes by hand.
One other problem with XMLSpy is that it complains about the SOAP-ENC prefix and also its presence in the generated XSD [even though the XSD was generated by XMLSpy in the first place] with a "name" attribute. Anyway, i am trying to get to know more about schema and might end up writing my own version of the schema.
