Selective attribute generation for XSD import
« on: September 11, 2006, 06:11:26 pm »
I've been struggling with the pro's and con's of importing XSD schemas with elements as associations or attributes.

Associations generates unweildly diagrams as it shows association relationships to basic types (xsd:string,integer etc) but keeps information such as multiplicity.

Attributes generates usable diagrams but looses information such as multiplicity and dependencies.

What I suggest is to change the import option so that simple types from specified namespaces are created as attributes all others are created as associations. Or maybe allow a list of types you don't wish to see as associations. I'm sure more experienced users could refine the requirement.

Regards,
