Hello Everyone, Without getting into Xerces for the moment, let me first explain what I want to achieve.
I have a need to generate XML documents in compliance with an already established XML schema. I considered that one way would be to use some XML data binding utilities i.e. a source generator to create source code from the XML schema and then build an application around this in order to load run-time data into the software objects and finally serialize/marshal these objects to XML files. This is how the Castor/Java utility works, of which I have some experience. However, I need to do this on a HP-UX platform without the JRE, but with lots of C++ support, so I began looking at other alternatives and this is where I came across the Xerces C++ parser, but I note that this has not got the same data binding functionality. I have downloaded the Xerces C++ code and successfully compiled the libraries, but what now? How do I create my schema compliant XML files? I realize that I can use something similar to the DOMPrint sample for serializing the DOM tree (schema compliant) but this example uses an existing XML file and I need to create my XML doc at runtime (well at least load the data therein at runtime). I thought about loading a schema compliant XML stub i.e. an 'empty' XML file and then extend it with my run time data ,but I am not sure how I might achieve this using the Xerces parser? Alternatively, I noted that XML Spy Enterprise 2005 supports Xerces C++ in its code generator but I am unsure how this interfaces with the Xerces parser and besides this is a expensive route as XML Spy is commercial software. That is as far as my thinking has gone, so any ideas/thoughts out there will be gratefully received.
