Jens Geyer commented on THRIFT-3523:
------------------------------------
I am right now testing it in my Github branch, already made some minor changes.

I have prototyped transforms that can create valid XML schema and WSDL files
from Thrift IDL, as well as transform SOAP requests and responses to and from
Thrift messages. Those transforms are not included because they may be outside
the scope of Thrift, but I can provide them if interested. Regardless, I feel
the XML model is generally useful and might be a good addition to the Thrift
compiler.

That stuff could fit into the contrib folder.
However, it also somewhat overlaps with the existing XSD generator. How would
you describe the relationship between those two?

> I've put together an XML model for Thrift IDL that is very similar in concept
> and structure to the model created by the JSON generator of the Thrift
> compiler. The code is based on the JSON generator, and inherits the 'merge'
> option from that module for including the model of all includes in a single
> file if desired.
> This generator is useful if you wish to extend the Thrift compiler with some
> XML based templating engine such as XSLT. For example I have prototyped
> transforms that can create valid XML schema and WSDL files from Thrift IDL,
> as well as transform SOAP requests and responses to and from Thrift messages.
> Those transforms are not included because they may be outside the scope of
> Thrift, but I can provide them if interested. Regardless, I feel the XML
> model is generally useful and might be a good addition to the Thrift compiler.
> Also included is an XML schema for the model file format and tests that
> generate XML from existing IDL in the Thrift test suite to validate against
> that schema. These tests are Ant based and so only run when --with-java is
> enabled in ./configure
