look at the XmlCursor api. You can use it to create an xml document.

I am working on a project where we are trying to dynamically generate XML instances, using the information gleaned from a defining XML schema. The instances will represent test cases for a given "message" type. I've experimented with the XMLBeans schema type system to get useful information about the types defined in the schema, such as the structure (sequences, choices, etc.), min/max occurs and various restrictions (enumerations, patterns, etc.). This information will be used to determine what types of test cases will be generated for a given message element. I'm at the point where I'd like to use the XMLBeans Java API to programmatically generate XML document instances. Of course, I would need to compile the schema to generate a Java library of classes that represent the Java form of the message types (and supporting types). What I don't know is how to dynamically use the generated API to create an object hierarchy representing a test case. The hierarchy would represent a message instance (which may or may not be valid or complete based on the test case), with element content populated with test data. I cannot seem to find the information from the schema type system that would allow me to "bridge" between the schema information and the specific generated API classes that would need to be used to generate the object hierarchy. I assume if this information is available, I would then need to use reflection to create the objects and set their values and attributes.
