[cxml-devel] Any Clever Ways to Build an XForm from an XSD?

[Steven Nunez]

Greetings all,

Having been away from the XML world for a while, I'm back on a fairly large project using it. While travelling down one of the paths in the rabbit warren, I came across a need to generate a from (probably an XForm) from an XSD. The use case is the specification of data models via the XSD, and quickly generating a form that a human user could use to input data.

It seems that there's *almost* some pipeline of chtml/cxml/cxml-stp that would get us most of the way there, but I haven't found a magic incantation that will do the trick.

Does anyone know of any clever way to go from an XSD to a X/HTML form? It doesn't have to look pretty, just be functional. I do know there will be some things that can't be easily done; that's fine, I expect manual work to reach the final product. I'm just looking for a tool that will get us most of the way there, since we have a large number of input formats. Doesn't have to even be a LISP solution, though that would be much preferred.

Cheers,
    - Steve
