you are able to use xpath, xquery, xpointer and all the others on a meta level. as a matter of course, you are able to generate your metadata java classes out of your 'dtd' via xslt. it is nice, isn't it? ... and last but not least your metadata are validated not to talk about the much better, and so far more javaish, typing and sematic abilities in xsd. fyi: DTD -> XSD converter http://puvogel.informatik.med.uni-giessen.de/dtd2xs/ quick XSD: http://www.xfront.com/xml-schema.html quick XSL: http://www.xfront.com/xsl.html > It looks to me as if xsd <--> dtd for schemas > > and xml <--> xml for documents > in using xsd there is no difference between schemas and documents, schemas are documents and documents could be schemas. it is a metter of the context. > What am I missing about xsd? > that xml formulates languages, for example xsd, but xml does not formulate dtd on which it rely. cu bax > david jencks > > On 2002.02.28 06:01:37 -0500 Holger Baxmann wrote: > > another thought: > > > > is anybody aware of the adavntages of xsd instead of using dtd's ? > > somebody is then able to use xsl for changing the underlying metadata > > (i.e. jboss.xsd -> xslt -> jboss-ejb-jar.xsd -> xslt -> > > any-believeable.xsd -> xslt -> my-prefered.xml). > > > > Am Don, 2002-02-28 um 02.58 schrieb Jason Dillon: > > > It not about waiting or not.
