PAUL WROTE>>>>>>>>>>>> i've been trying (on and off) to build such an animal for some time as an attempt to report on schema test case coverage: 1) generate a set of possible canonical XPaths from a schema (this problem, AIUI) 2) generate canonical XPaths from a set of XML documents 3) sort | comm results to find out which cases from #1 are covered by documents in #2, and which cases are missing. This approach obviously doesn't cover combinations, but is good enough for building a taxonomy of schema features exhibited in test case instance documents. The best i've come up with so far for step#1 is to experiment with the Sun and XMLSpy 'document instance generators' which have controls over stuff like depth of recursion. Unfortunately i've yet to find one that meets my needs or is Open Source (hackable), so became bogged down developing my own.. Paul >>>>>>>>>>>>> We had an intern take a crack at this. He sort of got something working using the Castor parser in Java. But I am not enough of a Java hack to figure out the problems. I would GLADLY give the code to anyone who want to take a crack at it.
