Class XMLDSSFromXMLSchema

java.lang.Object
  uk.ac.bbk.dcs.automed.xml.wrappers.XMLDSSFromXMLSchema

public class XMLDSSFromXMLSchema
extends java.lang.Object

Parses an XML Schema and creates the corresponding XMLDSS in DOM format.

IMPORTANT: an XML Schema that passes through this algorithm with no exceptions/errors is not to be considered valid!

Features not yet supported:

• Substitution groups
• Type substitution
• Redefine elements
• Namespaces: although the class is namespace-aware, it is not yet guaranteed that it will handle namespaces well
• Any declarations

Model groups: all model group declarations are treated as 'all' model group declarations, as this is the way the XMLDSS of a given XML file would be created. This means that the special behaviour of choice group and this of nesting model groups is ignored.

Wildcards: if the XML Schema contains any element or attribute wildcards, it will obviously ignore them, as it will not know what content to create.

Ignored declarations: the following declarations are ignored, as they obviously do not contribute to the XMLDSS content.

• ID/IDREF/IDREFS
• key/keyref
• annotation
• import

Should any unexpected behaviour of the algorithm occur (error/exception/unexpected XMLDSS) please contact the author of the class, specifying the problem and supplying the XML Schema used.
