Generating SDOs from an XML Schema sample details

This sample demonstrates how to generate Service Data Objects from an XML Schema, and how to use the generated SDOs. The example includes an XML Schema file named PurchaseOrder.xsd.

Generating Service Data Objects from PurchaseOrder.xsd

To generate SDOs from PurchaseOrder.xsd, follow the steps below:
  1. Click Window > Open Perspective > Java.
  2. Right-click on PurchaseOrder.xsd from the Package Explorer, and then click Generate > Java to bring up the Java™ generation wizard.

  3. From the Generator list, select SDO Generator and click Next.
  4. In the Container field, click Browse to locate the SDOFromXSDExample project in your workspace.
  5. Click Finish to generate the Java classes. You can view the generated Java classes in the Package Explorer.

Using the generated SDOs in a Java application

The following Java code example demonstrates how to use the generated code to perform these actions:
  • Create an instance of a PurchaseOrder
  • Serialize a PurchaseOrder into an XML file
  • Load a PurchaseOrder from an XML file

Running the Java application

To run the Java application:
  1. Create a class named PurchaseOrderSample.java in the default package of the SDOFromXSDExample project and paste the preceding Java code example into the class.
  2. In the Package Explorer, right-click on PurchaseOrderSample.java and click Run As > Java Application. The serialized file sample.xml is created. You can view the reconstructed Java instances in the Console view.
  3. To view the sample.xml file, right-click the project and click Refresh.
