Using an XML Schema as a Template Source
During form creation, it is possible to use an XML schema (as an .xsd file) as a template source. The form fields are bound to the XML elements at design time. If the form is designed entirely from an XML schema then it is possible to use the XML schema. There are some distinct advantages of using this method:
*It eliminates the need to provide the design time XDP file with the sample form data, which is used to infer a schema. At design time, when using the e-form import wizard to create an IS document type within Software AG Designer, the user selects the XML schema file (.xsd) that was used to create the form instead of the .xdp file.
*When an .xsd file is used to create an IS document type, the resulting document type fully encapsulates content and type restrictions for each of its elements per the schema.
