What you're looking for seems to be a "DTD-directed editor". IBM posted several approaches to this on their alphaWorks website (http://www.alphaWorks.ibm.com), including tree-based editing (Xeena), query-based document construction, and a tool that synthesized dummy documents for software testing purposes. I don't know which of these have been updated to work with the current version of the XML4J/Xerces parser, but that collection may be worth checking out. I've also used XMetaL for wordprocessing-style markup editing. Haven't tried it with data-style markup. Unfortunately there are no standardized APIs for this purpose yet, which is one reason we haven't seen more DTD-aware tools. DOM Level 3 is expected to address that. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
