Hi Davanum,

Thanks for pointing us at XmlSchema. It looks like something we could
really use for our project.

I've played around with it for a bit but I keep getting exceptions when
I try to create an XmlSchema object using the SchemaBuilder class. I've
tried a number of different schemas, some J2EE ones and some random ones
Google found for me and all seem to throw one exception or other.

Is there an example somewhere which would show the proper usage of
SchemaBuilder?

I found the thread on axis-dev regarding the donation of this module to
Axis, however, it was more than two years ago. Is this project/module
still being supported or used by any other Apache project?

Thanks in advance,
Greg Lapouchnian.
