Dear All, A new tool:
https://ant-tasks.projects.openhealthtools.org/source/browse/*checkout*/ant-tasks/trunk/AntTask-GenerateXML/index.html An ant task which uses XMLbeans to create example XML instances from a schema. See: https://ant-tasks.projects.openhealthtools.org/source/browse/*checkout*/ant-tasks/trunk/AntTask-GenerateXML/documentation/UserGuide.html For the list of properties you must of can set. Installation (including where to download the binary/zip file: https://ant-tasks.projects.openhealthtools.org/source/browse/*checkout*/ant-tasks/trunk/AntTask-GenerateXML/documentation/Installation.html It is especially useful for looking a pieces of schema as you can set the element you wish to use as the root one. It will use the values from enumerations are the fixed/default values for attributes and elements if they are set. It obeys the XML type system with the exception of regex/patterns. If anyone knows of some Open Source Java based "example from Regex" code then please let me know as the one thing it is lacking is the ability to create examples from patterns. XMLBean info: Differences with the std XML beans SampleXMLUtil: Added : In addition to the std settings you can set: public int numRepeat - Sets the number of repeats where more than one lement is allowed. Will work with the minOccurs and MaxOccurs is those are set. public boolean addOptE - Add optional Elements public boolean addOptAtt = Add optional Attributes I also check Element.getDefaultText() such that if an element has some default text set in the schema it will use that. I removed all the soap stuff (e.g. soapEnc) as it was not required. If anyone wants to integrate it into the std XML Beans code base etc.......then....it is Open Source etc. If anyone finds any bugs/wants any new features then....it is Open source etc.etc. Adam ******************************************************************************************************************** This message may contain confidential information.
