Generating an XSD for just diagram objects

[AdamViva]

Hi everyone,
It's easy enough to generate an XSD for objects in a package.

Can anyone recommend a way to generate an XSD only for objects (or related objects) that appear on a given diagram?



Thanks in advance,

Adam.

Adam,

Have a look at the schema composer.
That will allow you to pick and select which elements, and which attributes of those elements will be generated as XSD.

Hi, I started with the Schema Composer. Have a UML Model for the Banking Industry (originally from Rational and imported in EA). So of the inheritance does not always show. I would say it works mostly and then I get this one or two classes where it does not. I also cannot edit the multiplicity on a class. Anyone else having problems? Any suggestions would be appreciated

Take a look at my articles about class specialisation for XSD models and the schema composer overview:

You can also customise the Schema Composer to behave the way you need. That is what I usually do. I've been promising an article about it... I will try to post it soon...

The new EA 12.1 (beta) also has some promising improvements, but (until build 1223) most of them are still WIP (as I would expect from a beta version).

Just in case you are interested in extending the Schema Composer, here is the promised link:
