XML Schema to JFrame data entry form.

[dbleyl]

Hello,

Does anyone know of/have a tool for generating a simple JFrame data entry form from an XML Schema?

I'm writing a simple prototype to create XML files from a data entry screen, and it seems natural that there should be a tool to generate a data entry from from an XML Schema.

TIA.

Not sure of any tools out there - I expect there are though...

However, its simple enough to do if you cannot find any :

Use an XML parser API (xerces, xalan etc) to create a DOM from your XML file.

Then create a JTree object from the DOM, and apply the appropriate textfields in Swing as you traverse the tree.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am really trying to avoid writing one, because I think there should be a library to do this out there. I haven't found it yet, but maybe a few things that look like they almost do it.
