xml doc generator web interface
Hi,
Does anyone know of tool that dynamically generates web pages from a dtd
/ schema enabling you to create valid xml documents for that dtd.
(preferably an open source, java / jsp implementation).
e.g. provides dropdowns for valid elements / attributes / values etc.
thanks Nathan

Oh,
And there's the whole efforts behind XForms, of course.
Start at w3c.org. There are an amount of open-source implementations
available. None in a browser, but several... browsers.

There are (at least) two form frameworks under developement that work
with Cocoon:
Woody: http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=WoodyIntro
XmlForm:
http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/howto/xmlform-wizard/howto-xmlform-
wizard.html
I don't think they are able to generate forms from schema directly, but
you might want to take a look at they're both fairly adaptable.

Oh, indeed not what I understood.
I presume than that XOpus may be of interest to you:
http://xopus.org/index.jsp
It is a set of JavaScript pages (and a little bit of server-side) to
edit XML documents based on a Schema and an XSLT file) providing
user-interfaces for this.
They are partially open-source (that is, an older version is
Open-Source) and have this business model of doing Open-Source if the
contracting client requests this...

Hi,
thanks for your reply, apologies but I think I might have been unclear
in my original posting.
What I'm looking for is some way of having a web-based application that
uses xml files internally. rather than having a user edit an xml file
in their own editor and upload the file to the server, I'd like to...
provide a web interface that (at the server) constructs these xml
documents. All the user sees are pages of text fields, select boxes etc
and links to other pages (to create child nodes). It is the
auto-generation of these html 'editor' screens from a dtd or schema that
I am interested in. The idea being that the screens created constrain
the data that can be entered so that the generated document conforms to
the dtd / schema.
thanks again

Hi,
I think any XML-editor does this.
Some time ago, a guy posted about Pollo doing this.
I tend to use jEdit with its XML mode which does this pretty well
(note, current CVS head is broken, take the latest release).
And there are tons of others including commercial ones.
This is for the creation part.
For the delivery part I presume what you need is an XSLT processor...
or maybe I'm mistaking. Surely Cocoon has (huge) set of answers.
