Hi Deepal
It may be off topic, but I would advise you to run your XSD past an experienced
data modeller or senior developer/architect. It does not appear to be a clean
definition of a Person. For instance:
- Student/Employed/Unemployed should be a single top-level enumerated field.
As it stands, changing your employment status appears to redefine your surname.
- The surname attribute is common to all sub-elements and needs to move up
into the Person element.
- Date of birth, firstName and Surname should be top-level elements with some
being optional if the business rules say so.
- Cardinallity by default is one only mandatory occurrance. So for every
person you would need to have Student, Employed and Unemployed elements. I
doubt that you want that.
It is important that you get your data structures correct before committing
them to a web service. Fixing a service that others connect to is much harder
than getting it right first time.
Just my 2c worth...
Regards
Ron

Subject: Re: Web Service Development using XML Schema
I am not 100% sure whether our code generator can generate code from XML
schema since it does not have the binding. Because, having a schema simply
means a collection of data types. Thus, there should be a way to associate them
(such as WSDL binding). Best approach would be to create a WSDL and generate
code.

Using the web service user should able to upload their information as
described in XML Schema to the Server.
I want to take your advice how can I develop such a web service using
Axis2.
I have following technologies available:
Axis2.
Java.
Eclipse.
Code generation Plugin.
Service Archiver Plugin.
I have just put Person.xsd at the end of this e-mail.
