Any JAVA2XSD or JAVA2Schema ????
Hi,
How does the AXIS FW/tool validate the SOAP/XML
payload that it receives from a client. I would guess
there is some sort of "schema" or "DTD"[i doubt so]
that is associated with the xml data that is sent
across the wire. Or is it just the "well-formed"ness
that would suffice.
Is there a way to retrieve the schema information for
the XML payload, if it is generated at all.
If not, is there a JAVA2XSD or JAVA2Schema type util
just like JAVA2WSDL.....???
Any input is greatly appreciated...
Thank you very much,
S.

Thanks Obrand and i appreciate your time.
I tried XMLSpy... albeit it generates the XSD, i
cannot say it is 100% accurate.... It "Guessed" some
of the datatypes incorrectly.... I had to review the
XSD completely and make a lot of changes by hand.
One other problem with XMLSpy is that it complains
about the SOAP-ENC prefix and also its presence in the
generated XSD [even though the XSD was generated by
XMLSpy in the first place] with a "name" attribute.
Anyway, i am trying to get to know more about schema
and might end up writing my own version of the schema.
Thanks again,
S.

This is something that software such as XML Spy do well for you.
Personally I do not see Axis doing that for you and it cannot be fully
automated since XSD contains constraints that cannot be guessed by the
transformation process... XML to DTD will be easy but a full blown XML
to Schema is impossible. The Microsoft tool might just put everything as
Strings.... Try XML-Spy or some other XML editing tools.

Thanks Glen. Really appreciate your time.
I found one other utility in the .NET platform SDK
that is interesting..... It is called XSD.exe and
allows one to generate XSD from XML instances, apart
from various other operations.
Is there a similar functionality in the AXIS/SOAP
boundaries....
Any pointers will be very helpful.
TIA,
S.

Axis has an XML<->Java databinding framework which is still evolving and
doesn't really support all that much yet. Essentially we have metadata
associated with your Java class which tells the runtime how to map fields to
and from XML elements and attributes. Eventually I'd like to see us get to the
point where we can use the XML->Java and Java->XML code outside the context of
SOAP invocations, and that would include tools like Java2XML and XML2Java.
There are other toolkits which do this kind of thing now, such as Castor, and
the upcoming JAXB specification from Sun is also in this space.
