Hi Sergey, thanks for the reply.
Excel has a concept called an "XML Mapping". Upon connecting to my RS method
I get this
"The specified XML source does not refer to a schema. Excel will create a
schema based on the source XML data"
But the guesswork does not work very well every time.
After import the user is able to change the XML Map by supplying an
alternative XSD.
I suppose if the response XML had the schema definition in header then Excel
would automatically pick it up. That would be nice to have but I would be
even fine with supplying the XSD manually to Excel. Essentially at this
stage I am interested in generating the XSD automatically and supplying it
to Excel would be another thing.
What I understand from your reply is if I had been returning a single object
rather than a collection, then it would be possible to generate the schema
definition. I think this does not work right out of the box and I should be
doing something for that as I have another method that is returning a single
object but it is returning a similar plain XML file with no reference to any
XSD.
