Thanks a lot for your quick answer Dave, I indeed figured that out, i was hoping for another quicker way (i'm lazy or as you guessed short on ressources ;) ). Anyway that answers my question, i'll have to determine if i have the time to do it like that.
Thanks again and keep up the good work Regards -----Message d'origine----- De : Dave Kuhlman [mailto:dkuhl...@rexx.com] Envoyé : vendredi 26 août 2011 05:21 À : Carre, Olivier; generateds-users@lists.sourceforge.net Objet : Re: generating instances >From: "Carre, Olivier" >Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 1:16 AM > > Hello Dave, > > I've been playing with generateDS lately, and it is a great tool, i > must first thank you for it.

Yes, you can generate XML documents using the code generated by generateDS.py, in fact that is one of the goals or purposes for the project. There is some work involved. You can think of generateDS.py as generating Python class definitions for each of the element types in your schema. (You've already figured that out, I suppose.) So, you need to write some code that creates instances of those generated classes, and hooks them together with the correct nesting. Then call the export() function on the top-level instance/class to generate an instance document. Imagine a schema that defines an outerType element type contain instances of an innerType element type. Then you might do something like the following: inner = innerType() outer = outerType() outer.set_inner(inner) outer.export(sys.stdout, 0) or: outer = outerType(inner=innerType()) outer.set_inner(inner) outer.export(sys.stdout, 0) Of course, in a real world case, it will be quite a bit more complex, but that should give you the idea. Pardon me if I'm telling you things that you've already figured out. Hope this helps.
