Is it feasible? The Chiba XForms project http://sourceforge.net/projects/chiba has a XML Schema2XForms generator implemented as an Ant task. you'll put in a XML Schema and get a complete XForms document out that conforms with that Schema and allows data-entry of valid instances. it uses some defaults to solve ambiguities arising for the UI control selection. it's currently only available from cvs directly but will be part of the next release later this month. - look at the build.xml file for basic information on usage. hope this helps, Joern Turner > > Thanks a lot, > > Alexandre Franco > > > > >
