Subject: RE: [xsl] Generating User Interfaces from Schema From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2005 15:34:13 +0100 |
As mentioned in another thread, there is a lot of processing to get from a schema document (a chunk of XML) to a schema (a set of components with properties). You probably want to start from the schema, not from the schema document. There seems to be a need for a tool here that generates an XML representation of the schema, perhaps as a schema document in some kind of "normal form" with appinfo annotations to represent the computed properties. Having written a schema processor in Java, I find it hard to imagine writing one in XSLT, though I'm sure it can be done in theory.
