RE: [xml-dev] Generating XML from XSD

["Sagar Surana" <sagar.surana@amdocs.com>]

There is ...

Use XMLBeans tools...

There is a class SchemaInstanceGenerator which you can use ( But it has main so you need to pass parameters to it... ) and cannot use it as a normal function.

There is also a utility created by XMLbeans tools called as xsd2int which works pretty well..

For details please visit

http://xmlbeans.apache.org/docs/2.0.0/guide/tools.html#xsd2inst

U can also download latets version from xmlbeans tools..

The source code of SchemaInstanceGenerator is available at

Hello,

Isn't there any alternative other than XML Spy and oXygen for this functionality?

Shlomo.

It's already been mentioned that tools like XML Spy and oXygen have some 
capability to produce XML instances to match a Schema.  However, my own 
experience (mostly with users who had XML Spy) is that the tool often 
generated invalid instances, and the users then assumed that there was an 
error in the Schema that they had been given.

In particular, I'm not sure if any tool will reliably generate valid 
instances if there are pattern restrictions in a Schema.  This may well be 
an intractable problem, to generate a valid string match a pattern for any 
arbitrary pattern.  Certainly it isn't a trivial problem.  It does mean, 
however, that you should never expect an XML instance generator to fully 
valid XML.  It may need editing to make it valid.

Cheers, Tony.
