Generating an XML Schema

To generate an XML schema from a Java object model:

1. Create a class that extends javax.xml.bind.SchemaOutputResolver.

         private class MySchemaOutputResolver extends SchemaOutputResolver {
          
            public Result createOutput(String uri, String suggestedFileName) throws IOException {
               File file = new File(suggestedFileName);
               StreamResult result = new StreamResult(file);
               result.setSystemId(file.toURI().toURL().toString());
               return result;
            }
          
         }
   

2. Use an instance of this class with JAXBContext to capture the generated XML Schema.

         Class[] classes = new Class[4]; 
         classes[0] = org.example.customer_example.AddressType.class; 
         classes[1] = org.example.customer_example.ContactInfo.class; 
         classes[2] = org.example.customer_example.CustomerType.class; 
         classes[3] = org.example.customer_example.PhoneNumber.class; 
         JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(classes);
          
         SchemaOutputResolver sor = new MySchemaOutputResolver();
         jaxbContext.generateSchema(sor);
