Hi everyone, I am interested in this GSoC issue (SCD), and I would like to write a proposal about this one. I know it is a bit late for starting my disscussion now (I see some students have already prepare their proposals). But I have an important test in this coming Friday. That really cost much of my time to prepare.
*About the project*, from what I have learned from the document, The work which should be done is parse the SCD expression like this example: schema-URI#xscd(/type::purchaseOrderType/model::sequence/schemaElement::billTo) and then use the information in this expression : type, model, schemaElement to find the correspond component from an XSModel. Is this "XSModel" means that the evaluator will try to find the components in an existed object so that there are some existed founctions which can help the evaluate? And about the parser which I would like to use JavaCC to generate. The EBNF for Schema Component Path Syntax and the EBNF Schema Component Designator Syntax as will as other informations which should be useful to locate the component will be rewrite in the the requested form of JJTree. Then I can generate the basic parser by using JavaCC, and through edit the AST classes and the Visitor I can return necessary information or directly find the component and return this component. I am still working on some details about the existed XSModel and the necessary informations. (hope some advice ^ ^) However before that, I would like to ask some other things. I am informed that there is another student who is currently working on this proposal too, and he or she have worked with a potential mentor for *MONTHS *(That is really a long time, because the idea list is pubilshed in March 18). So I would eager to know that to what extend his or her work has been done. If this students have actually finish part of the work I think it will make my proposal a little meaningless... *About me*, I'm a graduate student in Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Major in computer science and technology. I have contact with some XML expressions and also a part of WS-XX relateded standards in my research work in the school's lab. It is about WS-Management. And furthermore, I have developed a SQL parser using JavaCC in another project. Thanks, Best Regards Eric Wang
