XMIs are not XSDs Dain, they are XML representation for EMF models - u can say UML described using EMF. I think there is a way to convert an XMI to XSD, and I think this can be found on Eclipse site. But the XMI schema itself which the WAS specific DDs follow, are not public and they are located using the deployment tool of was inside the was deployment itself - I will look for them. But this leads us to a license issue, can we use those XMIs deployed with was and not published publicly ???
