Hi everyone,

I have following XML doc:

<Application><Header><UserId/><Password/></Header><borr:Borrower xmlns:borr="http://www.test.com/schema/"><borr:name/><borr:date/></borr:Borrower></Application>

How can I create corresponding XSD file.

Thanks in advance.

Jim

You could use the XSD inference engine which you can download from on

Thanks for your reply.

There are two following XSD files were generated by using XSD inference 1.0:

One is testXSD.xsd which in the import statement the schemaLocation was added to point to second XSD file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><xs:import namespace="http://www.test.com/schema/" schemaLocation="testXSD1.xsd" /><xs:element n
ame="Application"><xs:complexType><xs:sequence><xs:element name="Borrower"><xs:complexType><xs:sequence><xs:element name="name" /><xs:element name="date" /></xs:sequence></xs:complexType></xs:element><xs:element xmlns:q1="http://www.test.com/schema/" ref=
"q1:Borrower" /></xs:sequence></xs:complexType></xs:element></xs:schema>

Seond XSD file is TestXSD1.xsd:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><xs:schema xmlns:tns="http://www.test.com/schema/" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://www.test.com/schema/" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><xs:elemen
t name="Borrower"><xs:complexType><xs:sequence><xs:element name="name" /><xs:element name="date" /></xs:sequence></xs:complexType></xs:element></xs:schema>

But problem is:
test.xml which was used to generat above xsd files cannot be validate aganist above xsd file.
That means in this situation, the generating XSD file cannot be used to validate previous XML instance which was used to
generated XSD files.

Thanks again.
