[xsd-users] Generate separate header file for specific elements

[Philipp Schmidt]

Hello,

I have xsd files where the lowest two elements that are needed to nest every 
other element are defined in every single xsd file, as well as most complex 
datatypes. Can I use --generate-xml-schema to put these definitions into a 
general header that I can then include everywhere else and if yes: How?

For example: I have the following xsd

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema 
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
  
  <xs:complexType name="fooType">
  <xs:attribute name="foo_id" type="xs:unsignedByte" use="optional" /> 
  </xs:complexType>

  <xs:complexType name="barType" >
    <xs:simpleContent>
      <xs:extension base="xs:integer">
        <xs:attribute name="bar_id" type="xs:unsignedByte" use="required" />
        <xs:attribute name="timestamp" type="xs:unsignedLong" use="optional" 
/>
      </xs:extension>
    </xs:simpleContent>
  </xs:complexType>

  <xs:element name="asdf">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="qwerty" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1">
          
			...
			
        </xs:element>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

and want to have the elements "asdf" and "qwertz" as well as the types "foo" 
and "bar" in said separate header file.

Kind regards,
Philipp Schmidt
