reading xml schema
Hi there,
Is there any way that xerces can be used to read xml schema (the xsd
file) and represent the xsd in some sort of tree in memory?

HiShah,
Xerces' API is read-only. There are no methods provided for construction
(aside from loading from schema documents), mutation or serialization.
Perhaps Eclipse XSD [1] is better suited for your needs.
Thanks.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for quick response. I can now use the API to load the schema.
I have not digged deeper, but is it possible to generate a sub-set of
schema from the loaded schema.
For example, I might load a schema that has 10 elements defined, but I
may only be interested in 2 elements. The idea is that different user
may need to get different schema with less elements defined, but
document generated by them still may be validated against bigger
schema. Is there any API call that can be used such that given
specific element form existing schema, another schema may be generated
such that generated schema only shows stuff required for specific
element.
Best Regards,
Shah Asrani.

Yes. Take a look at the XML Schema API [1].
