XSD from XML

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I have the following scenario:

I will receive a SOAP message from another application (Web Application) which will be calling my scenario in XI as a Web Service. Then, I will have to send one synchronous XML request to an external Web Server ove HTTP, receive a response, and then with the data from the response, send another XML asynchronous request over HTTP again.

Given that the Web Server that receives and sends XML over HTTP waits for standard XML format and I have been provided with the XML samples that I have to send and receive each time, how should I start?

I thought of producing the XSD's from XML with a corresponding tool, since they are a little bit complex, then import the XSD in XI and create the graphical data type. Is this the right sequence? Or should I create an external definition from the XSD produced?

Also, do you think that BPM is innevitable for this scenario?

Best Regards

Hi,

I request you to create External defination with

xsd produced.

one more thing, you are planning for sysnc-sync.

is it rt?, then you can proceed with out BPM.

Do you have one such tool in mind? In order to produce the XSD's??

The scenario is asynchronous request from Web Service application, the synchronous call to HTTP Web Server, and then one more asynchronous call to HTTP Web Server.

I guess I will need BPM.

Hi,

Actually it is not possible from structure we can produce actual context. from content we cannot produce structure.

Suppose in xml

<grade>2</grade>

here if you want to convert to xsd. How it will treat the element is string or int. These kind of issues you will face while converting xml to xsd.

But from xsd to xml you will mention as string then it will take any thing.

I think you got the problem.

Your generated XSD acts as a message type so...u don't need to create a data type for that.Import your XSD into External defintions of your interface objects.

Also, do you think that BPM is innevitable for this scenario?

Yeah you need to go for a BPM..

Thanks,

Hi

Using xomLite45.jar you can convert the XML file to XSD file.

Java u2013jar xomLite45.jar MyFile.xml

Here you ll get MyFile.xsd in the same directory

After you can import the xsd file in your External Definition
