Chris,

Good question, and this probably exposes my ignorance of XST. Maybe it's not the right technology. Maybe I need to find a tool that can translate from XSD -> SQL. Then it would be straightforward to map the relational table defs to the OFBiz entity def. My small brain can't get round the mapping of the hierarchical XML Schema to a relational one - at least not given it's size. Maybe when I was younger :-)

In case anyone is interested, the schema I want to map is the ONIX schema (used in the book trade).

Cheers, Iain

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't you need to know
what the source elements are in order to make an XST
to entity def?  Absent knowing the structure of your
source it wouldn't matter what someone else's XST
looks like, it wouldn't work with yours.

That's my question...has anyone already buit an XST
to do the conversion to OFBiz Entity defs?

the XSD defines the layout.
the XML is where the Entities definitions are.
you can try using an XST file to convert.

I have a slightly complicated XML Schema (.xsd)
that I would like to
import into OFBiz.

Has anyone written a tool to convert XML schemas
into OFBiz entity
definitions?

Cheers, Iain
