Introduction to the IDL Extractor for XML Schema

The Software AG IDL Extractor for XML Schema generates an IDL File and a related XML mapping file (XMM) from given XML schema files.

The Software AG Designer provides a wizard to collect all necessary input. You can extract from either

a remote location using an URL (see Step 2: Select a Source for supported protocols), or
directly from your Eclipse workspace.

For the direction OUT - that is, the reply from the server - an optional XML Schema file can be specified to extract the parameters returned. See Step 3a: Specify XML File for more information.
