AW: How to remove elements from an XML instance document that is notpart

["Peintner, Daniel" <daniel.peintner.ext@siemens.com>]

Hi,

not sure what exactly you mean by "tool" but what works is going through a databinding layer.
e.g., parse XML to JAXB classes and serialize to XML again.

Hope this helps,

Betreff: [xml-dev] How to remove elements from an XML instance document that is not part of the XML schema?

Hi Folks,

Scenario: The XML Schema says the root element is Document and it contains a sequence of an A element followed by a B element. Here's a schema-valid XML instance:

<Document>
    <A>blah</A>
    <B>bar</B>
</Document>

I receive this instance document:

<Document>
    <A>blah</A>
    <B>bar</B>
    <C>oops</C>
</Document>

For the instance to be schema-valid, the C element must be removed. 

Is there a tool that, given an XML Schema and an XML instance, the tool returns the instance minus any invalid elements? That is, the tool returns a schema-valid instance.

/Roger
