Java and parsing xsd tu build a gui

[TIANA]

Hi guys,
unfortunately i'm a newbee to java and xml and xsd...
part of my xsd looks like this:
<xs:simpleType name="val">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="aa"></xs:enumeration>
<xs:enumeration value="bb"></xs:enumeration>
<xs:enumeration value="cc"></xs:enumeration>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

could anyone give me a hint, how to parse my xsd in java
to fill a combobox out of the values in the enumeration tags?
I guess I have to work around with jdom?!?
I'm working with java 1.4.1..
would be glad for any help or hint
thanks in advance

Greetings,

you're right with jdom : look in the samples files or if I rememebr
correctly there are some pdf slides with sample codes.

http://www.jdom.org/downloads/oraoscon01-jdom.pdf pages 23 - 33

this is what you have to do :
find the xs:restriction element whose attribute name is "val".
get its children into a collection of nodes.
parse the collection and put each value (String) in a Vector.

Then create your combo box in swing and fill it with the vector you have
just created.

you're done

Good luck !

Alternatively, you could use a pattern matching package like
Jakarta-ORO.
