How2 Generate XSD from XML that can have variable content
I am trying to generate XSDs for our project.
I have XML that comes from a search engine which, depending on the query
parameters and other variables, conditions, etc., may not contain certain
elements.
Is there a way I can run through a bunch of sample XML documents and come up
with a super-set schema?
Example:
Only when an error occurs will the document contain the 'error' structure.
If I use the inst2xsd tool on a good sample XML (one that ran without
errors) the structure will not be there. So, I have to assemble the complete
structure by hand before I use the inst2xsd tool.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That's an interesting problem to solve, but it is above and beyond what
XMLBeans has been designed for.
