Almost always it's possible to transform XSD into RNC. I have set up
myself a tool-chain for doing it using java, rngconv, trang and the
following shell script:

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# = 0 ]; then
    echo "Usage: rnc /path/to/XSD/schema/to/convert/to/RNC"
    exit 1
fi
if [ ! -f $1 ]; then
    echo "No such file: $1"
    exit 2
fi

DIR=`echo $0 | sed -e "s/[^/]*$//"`
FILE="$DIR../`echo $1 | awk -F/ '{print $NF}' | cut -d. -f1`.rnc"

if [ -f $FILE ]; then
    echo "ERROR: File exists: $FILE"
    exit 3
fi

CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$DIR

java -jar $DIR/rngconv.jar $1 > $DIR/fifo | java -jar $DIR/trang.jar -
I rng -O rnc $DIR/fifo $FILE

if [ -f $FILE ]; then
    echo "OK: New RNC schema saved as $FILE"
else
    echo "ERROR: Errors found, see stderr for details"
fi

--- cut here: end --------------------------------------

If you put this together with all the java dependencies in a directory
~/rnc/conv, you can execute it from anywhere inside your filesystem
and you get the converted schema in ~/rnc.

Good luck :)

As Lennart mentioned before we're not looking for a conversion method
from XML Schema to Relax NG but for native XML Schema support in
Emacs.

Better luck, then :) If you find (or write yourself) something please
let us know - I'm sure there's a lot of people interested in having
it.

Is there really no solution in emacs for my problem?

I'm shocked. Must i really switch to vi after lots of years?  ;-)

XML mode with XSD schema support?

[Steffen Sledz]

I'm looking for a mode to edit XML files according to a XSD schema
referenced inside the file. These files contain a line like this:

<ConfigurationItems xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-
instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="myschema.xsd">

The only mode i found was nXMLMode. It is very comfortable but it
supports only Relax NG schemas. :(

I too would like this. Much of what we do with XML at Oracle uses XML
Schema-based XML data.

Is Trang something that can help?

No, I don't believe so. I tried to use it once, and gave up - YMMV. It's XML
Schema support that I'm looking for, not conversion from XML Schema to Relax NG.

If i take a look at http://www.postneo.com/2007/01/16/all-i-want-to-do-is-convert-my-schema
i don't think so. It seems to be a hard way to convert the schema.

And i'm not really interested in converting the schema. E.g. if one
would do this, one would lose the reference info to the schema from
within the XML file. :(
