Hi,

I'd like to parse XML inside XSD. I need to get dynamicly data from XML a build this dynamicly:

<xs:simpleType name="categories">
<xs:restriction base="xs:normalizedString">
<xs:enumeration value="from XML"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

Does anyone if I can do that? Otherwise any idea to do it different way...

Thanks in advance

Please try to write a better question. We've no idea what you want - where is your XML, what does it look like, what are you using to 'process' the XSD?

Try looking at this post for help on how to write a good post: Hints for a good XSLT post

Ok, I'm working with Alfresco. I have one field which is categories in a web form. The web form get the structure from XSD, so I'd like to get the values of that field dynamicly. Thus, I thought I could use parse a XML inside the XSD, this way I can get the values dynamicly. The type of categories would be SimpleType.

This my categories right now:

<xs:simpleType name="categories">
<xs:restriction base="xs:normalizedString">
<xs:enumeration value="Commnications"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Collaboration"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Academic"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Community"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Student Informations Systems"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Administrative Systems"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Career"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

I'd like to parse all the values from external file, so I don't know if I can do it. I've looked for soluctions in Internet, but I haven't found anything.

Can someone help me out with any way to solve this problem?

Thanks

PD: I'm sorry for last post

There's an enormous literature on managing code-lists but you seem to be looking for a cheap-and-cheerful solution. In that case you might like to use XML entities: write the schema as

and parse it using a SAX parser with a custom EntityResolver. When the parser tries to find codes.xml it will call your EntityResolver and you can return anything you like.
