Examples in XMLBeans Source
Also, some of the code in the XmlBeans tools is a very good example of how to use XmlBeans. In paricular, see:
- org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.tool.InstanceValidator It is an excellent example of how to load a schema type system dynamically at runtime, load and validate an instance within that type system, and how to obtain lists of and locations for validation errors.
- org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.xsd2inst.SampleXmlUtil It is a great example of how to combine the XmlCursor and SchemaType APIs to create a full [sub]document that includes required children, default values etc.
- org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.tool.PrettyPrinter It is a reasonable example of how to load and save out an arbitrary XML document. XmlOptions are used to produce the pretty-printing.
