Hello,
I've recently started a new project where I've been hired as a
junior Java programmer (know Java but this is a J2EE project
involving Hibernate, Web Services and a few other stuffs). In
fact to start writing code (we use IBM RAD) of our component
me and another guy have only been given a series of .xsd files,
and THAT'S ALL.
These schema definition files aren't very numerous (about 20
or 25 .xsd), but the entities described therein are pretty
complex (many many attributes, complex types, dependencies
etc.). Our component is that which is supposed to deal with
databases connections in this app.
My question: is it usual to proceed this way and provide a
programmer only a few xml schema definitions to have him
starting to code the application ? I have to admit I suffer quite
a lot with this bizness (I'm a newbie to xml too more or less).
Could you give hints of tools (preferably freeware) to install
(plugins to Eclipse... whatever) to find a track from which I
could manage to start developping something ? Draw a database
schema too (the tables, how many, their structure...): is there
a tool to map xsd's to schema tables without too much hassle ?
*Thanks* a lot in advance...
Regards,
Spendius
