Topic: Adding and Deleting of XML records in Authentic
Posted: Friday, February 12, 2010 1:32:56 PM
In StyleVision, in Schema Tree/$XML (main)/Root Elements, drag (from example from the examples using Book.xml, drag a "book" into the (content) of the $XML(content)$XML section.

Then when automatically given the options menu, select "Create Table".

Thanks for the reply.

I've looked through the examples and have not spotted what you refer to as a "dynamic" table...I assume that means it can do inserts/deletes of records. Could you point me to where there is such an example...or tell me how to do it?

note: I'm using xml, not a database as my datasource...meaning I want to "insert" or "delete" "records" from my xml file.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm playing with StyleVision/Authentic right now to see if it can be used as a non-techee person editor for an xml data file we use.

I need this person to be able to modify, add, and delete "records" from the XML data.

In using StyleVision/Authentic, I've made "tables" that allow editing of the records. Can these "tables" allow me to add and delete records?

Also, instead of a simple table, can StyleVision/Authentic be setup to edit a two level "table"?

e.g.
<Company Name="GE">
<Location>
<State Name="NC">
<City Name="Asheville" />
</State>
</Location>
<Location>
<State Name="VA">
<City Name="Roanoke" />
</State>
</Location>
</Company>

Thanks!




Topic: Need tool for non-techee person to enter xml data
Posted: Thursday, February 11, 2010 4:11:35 PM
I have a lot of data to be maintained in an xml file of two levels of hierarchy: e.g.

<Top>
<LookupTable1>
<LookupTable1Parameter1>111</LookupTable1Parameter1>
<LookupTable1Parameter1>222</LookupTable1Parameter2>
</LookupTable1>
<LookupTable2>
<LookupTable2Parameter1>111</LookupTable2Parameter1>
<LookupTable2Parameter1>222</LookupTable2Parameter2>
</LookupTable2>
</Top>

And want to setup for a non-techee person to maintain the data.

I'm looking for a simple tool for this non-techee person to use for maintaining this data.

I've used Excel as an editing tool (mapping an .xsd to an Excel page) for "one level" hierarchical data...and this works fine (does a "Save As" "Xml Data"). For example:
<Top>
<LookupTableParameter1>111</LookupTableParameter1>
<LookupTableParameter1>222</LookupTableParameter2>
</Top>
But I don't believe I can do "two level" data in Excel.

Suggestion on a tool for a non-techee user to edit two level hierarchical xml data?

Thanks!
Topic: Validating of the schema of schemas
Posted: Thursday, October 9, 2008 11:49:34 PM
Hi,

In my application, I generate xsd's in code for end-user use. I would like to validate the generated xsds (that they are valid xsds).

I thought I would be able to use w3c's "schema of schemas" to validate my xsds.

So I took the schema at: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd and put it in XMLSpy. But it fails to validate. Shouldn't it be valid in itself?

I get an error: "Group xs:defRef is already declared"

Suggestions on how what needs to be done to make the "schema of schemas" validate in XMLSpy?

Thanks!
