The first of a two-part series, this tutorial gives you the building blocks you need to set up and work with the XML Schema Infoset Model. In this tutorial, you will learn:

• How to set up the development environment
• How to use the XML Schema Infoset Model classes
• How to load and create XML Schema models
• How to link XML Schema models together

This tutorial is for developers who are familiar with Java, XML, and XML Schema, and who are interested in combining these technologies using the XML Schema Infoset Model. You should therefore understand how to write Java code and understand how XML Schemas work. Some understanding of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is helpful but not required. You can get an introduction to XML Schema fundamentals in the Resources at the end of this tutorial, and an introduction to UML basics in How to read UML class diagrams.
