AW: How to remove elements from an XML instance document that is not part of the XML schema?

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
