Generate xml files based off different schemas?

[realdahan]

This is not relevant to Spring, but I'm not sure whereelse I could post. I have a common set of data, and a few different xml schemas. What is the best approach to generate different xml files based off these xml schemas? I would expect a process that take the data and a xml schema, and then spit out a xml file. Is it possible? Thanks for your help.

Do you mean something like Middlegen-Hibernate-r5? Where it reads some database tables and automatically creates the hbm and java files for you?

I meant to pull data out of db and generate a xml file for a given dtd or schema file.

Hibernate 3.0 supports exporting managed objects to XML. The structure of the XML is specified in the hbm.xml mapping files.

While this won't satisfy your requirement of exporting to different schemas, you could export to one XML schema than use XSL to get to the other schemas.
