generating test xml

[happytechie]

Hi all,

I've been strugling withb this for at least an hour now so I thought I'd ask the collective OcUK mind for some help. I have some XSD files (schemas) that detail the input types for a system that I'm working an. They are full of xsd:choices, ennumerations and other such structures. In order to run a test on the system, I'd like to be able to generate a set of xmls files that use all of the possible options in the xsds. I know that there will be a lot of xml files and that it will take days possibly weeks to run the test but I don't really care

Does anyone nkow of a tool that will generate a test data set according to XMl Schemas ?

Cheers me dears, Paul

I 'could' and there are a couple of tools out there in the open source world that do bits of the task (badly).

I was kind of hoping that someone might have found a tool that did that and actually worked.

I've had the same responce form a few people, 'oh that would be really useful, let us know if you fiond one that works. and 'yeah we wrote one of those for project X but I can't send you the code'.

I really hope I don't have to write my own as I really haven't got time.
