Can you send me links to the various packages that you're working
with, e.g. the data bindings, schema validator?  Thanks!


Tools used
----------

1. XSV Schema validation tool on-line: <http://www.w3.org/2001/03/webdata/xsv#hlp-addr>
Info about XSV 2.7 (2004/04/01): <http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~ht/xsv-status.html>
Related: W3C Schema structures spec: <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/>

2. Data Bindings
JAXB -- from Sun: <http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxb/index.jsp>
It comes in the Java Web Services Developer Pack 1.4. I have downloaded it into sesweb/tools.

N.B. I did not get a chance to check if the data binding jaxb supports includes all the features in gxl-1.0.xsd. I know that jaxb supports many BUT not all features in XML Schemas.

Also, the JWSDP documentation is a bit out of sync with the release. A few of the sample tutorial code bits don't seem to work.

Castor is a well liked tool and it is open source with a good license: <http://www.castor.org/about.html>
I have not examined it closely yet.
