Oxygen XML Forum

Hi,

Fairly new to XML and very new Oxygen-- but I'm loving this program!

My question is why following coversion of an xml doc to DTD does Oxygen add the following ATLIST after every element:

<!ATTLIST personnel
xmlns CDATA #FIXED ''>

Validation appears to work fine if you just sweep through and delete all these. So why does Oxygen supply them?

Thanks so much!

Greg

Hi Greg,

oXygen use TRANG (http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/trang.html) to perform the conversion between different schema languages. The xmlns attribute that you noticed represents in fact a namespace declaration and in your example it specifies that the declared elements belong to no namespace.
oXygen has an additional action that you can use to get a DTD from an XML document. This is the DTD that oXygen uses when it learns automatically the document strcuture when you do not have a schema or a DTD associated. See the Document->XML Document->Save structure action. That will give you a simpler but more relaxed DTD than the "Convert to" action.

Hi,

Oxygen does not have support for Java to XML conversion.

Can you please clarify?
There is no such thing like Java to XML conversion... What you would like that to do?
