Re: [xsl] Question about Altova XML Spy

2006-10-15 07:31:37
Hi all:

Thank you for all your advice. The issue I am facing
is that XML Spy is generating the sample XML only for
a part of the Schema and not for the entire schema. Is
there any way the XML can be generated for the entire
schema?

You are in the right place in XML Spy  - the help
file has the following
with regards to options available to you re
generating output.

-----------------
The DTD/Schema | Generate Sample XML File... command
generates an XML file
based on the currently active schema (DTD or XML
Schema) in the main window.

The options listed in the pop-up window are:

Generate non-mandatory attributes - Activating this
option generates not 
only mandatory attributes, but also the
non-mandatory attributes, defined in 
the schema.

Generate non-mandatory elements - Activating this
option generates not only 
mandatory, but also non-mandatory elements, defined
in the schema.

Generate first choice of mandatory choice -
Activating this option 
generates/inserts the first choice of a mandatory
choice.

Generate X elements if marked repeatable in
Schema/DTD - Activating this 
option generates the number of repeatable elements
you enter in the text 
box.

Fill elements and attributes with data - Activating
this option inserts the 
data type descriptors/values for the respective
elements/attributes. For 
example: Boolean = 1, xsd:string = string, Max/Min
inclusive = the value 
defined in the schema.
----------------------
You should also be aware that for a particular
DTD/Schema it may not be
possible to generate all elements within a sinlge
instance.  For example if
you had

<!ELEMENT branch  (x | y) >

then branch could contain 'x' or 'y' but never both
in a single instance.

From your message, it may be your problem is
entirely associated with
imported schemas... which I know very little about
in a XML Spy context.

Subject: [xsl] Question about Altova XML Spy


Hi All:

I am sorry I do not know if this is the right
forum
for this question. I have a question about XML
Spy.

I have Altova XML Spy 2005 Enterprise Edition. I
would
like to know if it is possible to generate an XML
from
the Schema using Spy. I tried using Generate XML
option, but it does not include all the elements
and
imported schemas in the XML content. How do I make
it
include everything?

If this is not the right forum, can anyone please
direct me to the right forum for this question?

Thank you
