Re: Resolving complex types

[John Keyes]

Hi Sheen,

This is an XML transformation issue, i.e. XSLT.  The way to achive
this is to write a stylesheet that transforms the first schema
into the second one.  This is not a trivial task (i.e. invoking
a method) and as the schema becomes more complex the robustness and
completeness of the stylesheet will be called into question.

For what technical reason do you want to accomplish this?

Hi,

Please can you tell me how to resolve explicit complexTypes within a schema document and generate a simple schema with annonymous complex types. if I have a schema like this,

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>
<xsd:complexType name="Address">
  <xsd:sequence>
   <xsd:element name="name"   type="xsd:string"/>
   <xsd:element name="street" type="xsd:string"/>
   <xsd:element name="zip"    type="xsd:decimal"/>
  </xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="Customer" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
    <xsd:complexType>
     <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="Name" type="xsd:string"/>
      <xsd:element name="Location" type="Address"/>
     </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>

how can I produce using the parser to have something like,

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>
<xsd:element name="Customer" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
    <xsd:complexType>
     <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="Name" type="xsd:string"/>
      <xsd:element name="Location">
        <xsd:complexType>
         <xsd:sequence>
            <xsd:element name="name"   type="xsd:string"/>
            <xsd:element name="street" type="xsd:string"/>
            <xsd:element name="zip"    type="xsd:decimal"/>
         </xsd:sequence>
       </xsd:complexType>
     </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>

Can I achieve this using the parser or do I have to use some other means? Please give me few ideas.

Thanks,
Sheen
