utility to generate xsd from java class

问题

I want to generate xsd for the following class

public class Node{
  private String value;
  private List<Node> childrens;

}

What is the best utility to generate xsd schema for such code

In general I want to implement simple tree. I'm already using jaxb for generating the classes from schema.

回答1:

If you're already using JAXB, you can use the schemagen tool for creating an XSD:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/share/schemagen.html
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.websphere.express.doc%2Finfo%2Fexp%2Fae%2Ftwbs_jaxbjava2schema.html

There are also Ant tasks and Maven plugins for doing the same in an automated fashion.

You can use the generateSchema API on JAXBContext to generate an XML schema:

import java.io.IOException;
import javax.xml.bind.*;
import javax.xml.transform.Result;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;

public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(Node.class);   
        jc.generateSchema(new SchemaOutputResolver() {

            @Override
            public Result createOutput(String namespaceURI, String suggestedFileName)
                throws IOException {
                return new StreamResult(suggestedFileName);
            }

        });

    }

}

Yes indeed there are. Before you have to figure it out for yourself here is the maven version:

(1) Add the maven plugin to your pom.xml

<build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.4</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>schemagen</id>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>schemagen</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
                <configuration>
                    <!-- Renaming default 'schema1.xsd' -->
                    <transformSchemas>
                      <transformSchema>
                        <uri>http://www.your.url/namespace/foo</uri>
                        <toFile>your-schema-name.xsd</toFile>
                      </transformSchema>
                    </transformSchemas>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
            ...
        <plugins>       
<build>

(2) Add a package info (optional) class:

package-info.java to your (java) package(s). This file contains the package name:

@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema(namespace = "http://www.your.url/namespace/foo", elementFormDefault = javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED)
package url.your.namespace.foo;

(3) Add XML annotations to your classes like

@XmlRootElement(name = "Container")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Container {

  @XmlElement(name = "Info", required = true)
  private Info info;
  @XmlElement(name = "Unit")
  private Unit unit;
...}

Then you just have to execute your maven build and then in the target folder you'll find you xsd file.
