I came across this excellent article about how to do basics with SDO including writing out a datagraph to an XML document.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/ws-sdoxmlschema/index.html What I wish to do is similar, I wish to read data from a MySQL database using RDB DAS and then store that information into an XML file using XMLHelper (I suppose this is the preferred way). This XML data will eventually be destined for a JMS message for export to its destination. I'm building off of the sample Customers for now until I get a working model... So far I've added this code to my Customer sample code: private void outputXML() throws Exception { Command readAll = das.getCommand("AllCustomers"); CUSTOMER = readAll.executeQuery(); DataObject resultSet = DataFactory.INSTANCE.create(RES_NAMESPACE, "resultSetType"); OutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(RES_XML); List allCustomers = CUSTOMER.getList("CUSTOMER"); int i = 1; for(i=0; i<allCustomers.size(); i++) { XMLHelper.INSTANCE.save((DataObject)allCustomers.get(i), RES_NAMESPACE, "CUSTOMER", stream); stream.write(13); //writes a carraige return to the XML file. stream.write(10); } } This does generate an XML file, but its contents are all wrong... I want it to follow the XSD: <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.example.com/RESULTSET" targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/RESRESULTSET"> <xsd:element name="CUSTOMER" type="resultSetType"/> <xsd:complexType name="resultSetType"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="LASTNAME" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="ADDRESS" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="ID" type="xsd:positiveInteger"/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:schema> But my program outputs: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?> <resSS:CUSTOMER xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:das="http:///org.apache.tuscany.das.rdb/das" xmlns:resSS="http://www.example.com/resSS" xsi:type="das:CUSTOMER" ID="1" LASTNAME="John" ADDRESS="USA"/> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?> <resSS:CUSTOMER xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:das="http:///org.apache.tuscany.das.rdb/das" xmlns:resSS="http://www.example.com/resSS" xsi:type="das:CUSTOMER" ID="2" LASTNAME="BlueBerry" ADDRESS="INDIA"/> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?> <resSS:CUSTOMER xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:das="http:///org.apache.tuscany.das.rdb/das" xmlns:resSS="http://www.example.com/resSS" xsi:type="das:CUSTOMER" ID="3" LASTNAME="Patrick" ADDRESS="UK"/> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?> <resSS:CUSTOMER xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:das="http:///org.apache.tuscany.das.rdb/das" xmlns:resSS="http://www.example.com/resSS" xsi:type="das:CUSTOMER" ID="4" LASTNAME="Jane" ADDRESS="UN"/> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?> <resSS:CUSTOMER xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:das="http:///org.apache.tuscany.das.rdb/das" xmlns:resSS="http://www.example.com/resSS" xsi:type="das:CUSTOMER" ID="5" LASTNAME="Jenny" ADDRESS="USA"/> I'm hoping that someone has done something similar and could point me in the right direction because at the moment im generating content for 5 different xml files into one file, when I'd like to have all the rows of data contained in one xml file in the format: <XML> <CUSTOMER> <ID>1</ID> <LASTNAME>John</LASTNAME> <ADDRESS>USA</ADDRESS> </CUSTOMER> <CUSTOMER> <ID>2</ID> <LASTNAME>Blueberry</LASTNAME> <ADDRESS>India</ADDRESS> </CUSTOMER> Etc...
