Ok so I want to parse the notes.xsd file. When I say parse I would like to extract the following:
note to [string] from [string] heading [string] body [string] So I'd like to extract the fact that the elements to, from, heading and body are of type string. It may be important to note that I am trying make my parser ask generic as possible i.e. it will do this for any schema file. The full file is available here: http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~hoss/uploads/note.xsd<http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/%7Ehoss/uploads/note.xsd> So I've the following code: try{ InputStream is = is = new FileInputStream("C:\\Users\\Patrick\\Documents\\college\\FYP\\xml\\note.xsd"); XmlSchemaCollection schemaCol = new XmlSchemaCollection(); XmlSchema schema = schemaCol.read(new StreamSource(is), null); XmlSchemaObjectTable objectTable = schema.getElements(); So I have an object called schema. The methods getElements() and getItems() both return note and not the elements to, from, heading or body as they are in a sequence in a complex type. You say to ask the elemnt for its type, how do I do this? Thanks, Patrick On Fri, Apr 10, 2009 at 10:38 PM, Benson Margulies <[email protected]>wrote: > You ask the element for its type.
