You cannot – a XSD describes the DATA aspects e.g. of a webservice – the WSDL describes the FUNCTIONS of the web services (method calls). You cannot typically figure out the method calls from your data alone. These are really two separate, distinctive parts of the equation. For simplicity’s sake you would often import your … Read more
If you happen to have Visual Studio, open the DTD file an you should have a button to “Create Schema” out of it. I haven’t checked if it was available on Express edition, though.
You’ll need to associate the XML document in Visual Studio with the XSD file you have. You should see something like this in your Properties window of the XML document: In the XML schema set editor (opens when you click on the (…) ellipsis in the “Schemas” textbox in your Properties window) you need to … Read more
JAXB provides two ways to accomplish this: 1. Inline Schema Anntotations You can use JAXB schema annotations to control the class names. <xs:schema xmlns:xs=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema” xmlns:jaxb=”http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb” jaxb:version=”2.1″> <xs:complexType name=”itemType”> <xs:annotation> <xs:appinfo> <jaxb:class name=”Item”/> </xs:appinfo> </xs:annotation> <xs:attribute name=”id” type=”xs:string” use=”required”/> </xs:complexType> </xs:schema> 2.

I had to specify different generateDirectory (without this, the plugin was considering that files were up to date and wasn’t generating anything during the second execution). And I recommend to follow the target/generated-sources/<tool> convention for generated sources so that they will be imported in your favorite IDE automatically. I also recommend to declare several execution … Read more
Actually the XSD is XML itself. Its purpose is to validate the structure of another XML document. The XSD is not mandatory for any XML, but it assures that the XML could be used for some particular purposes. The XML is only containing data in suitable format and structure.
Suppose we have Test.xsd file that looks like this: <?xml version=”1.0″?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema”> <xs:element name=”MyClass”> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name=”Field1″ type=”xs:string”/> <xs:element name=”Field2″ type=”xs:string”/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> Create classes using xsd tool: xsd.exe /classes Test.xsd This will generate Test.cs file. Add Test.cs file to your solution. Create instance of MyClass, defined in XSD schema and … Read more
I believe XSD2Code is the best tool currently available (in 2011). I recently went through the same process at work of analysing the available tools out there so i thought i would provide an updated answer that relates to VS2010. Our main driver was that xsd.exe does not generate XML doc from the XSD annotations, … Read more
The numerical value seems to be missing from your price definition. Try the following: <xs:simpleType name=”curr”> <xs:restriction base=”xs:string”> <xs:enumeration value=”pounds” /> <xs:enumeration value=”euros” /> <xs:enumeration value=”dollars” /> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType> <xs:element name=”price”> <xs:complexType> <xs:extension base=”xs:decimal”> <xs:attribute name=”currency” type=”curr”/> </xs:extension> </xs:complexType> </xs:element>
Most of the time, attributes will not be in any namespace. The namespace spec says (emphasis mine): A default namespace declaration applies to all unprefixed element names within its scope. Default namespace declarations do not apply directly to attribute names; the interpretation of unprefixed attributes is determined by the element on which they appear. There’s … Read more
