Generate Java Classes From Xml Response

Today while consuming a REST service of one of my client, I got the response in XML format and what i needed was to generate POJO classes from that response. So I researched and sharing the 2 step way to do that :

1st step : Convert XML --> XSD

2nd step : Convert XSD --> POJO (java classes)

Converting XML --> XSD

I have used trang.jar for this task. Link.

command (usage)

 java -jar trang.jar file.xml file.xsd

Converting XSD --> POJO (java classes)

For this i have used following executable

<JAVA_HOME>\bin\xjc.exe (jdk1.6.0_13 in my case.)

command (usage)

 xjc file.xsd

------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes the above command throws an error like following

XJC

Following command can get you out of the above error or you can use custom bindings.

xjc -XautoNameResolution PurchaseOrders.xsd
