Using the XML C++ Class Generator Examples in sample/

Table 23-2 lists the files in the sample XML C++ Class Generator sample/ directory.

Table 23-2 XMl C++ Class Generator Examples in sample/

Sample File Name	Description
CG.cpp	Sample program
CG.xml	XML file contains DTD and dummy document
CG.dtd	DTD file referenced by CG.xml
Make.bat on Windows NT Makefile on UNIX	Batch file (on Windows NT) or script file (on UNIX) to generate classes and build the sample programs.
README	A readme file with these instructions

The make.bat batch file (on Windows NT) or Makefile (on UNIX) do the following:

• Generate classes based on CG.xml into Sample.h and Sample.cpp

• Compile the program CG.cpp (using Sample.h), and link this with the Sample object into an executable named CG.exe in the ...\bin (or .../bin) directory.

XML C++ Class Generator Example 1: XML -- Input File to Class Generator, CG.xml

This XML file, CG.xml, inputs XML C++ Class Generator. It references the DTD file, CG.dtd.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE Sample SYSTEM "CG.dtd">
  <Sample>
    <B>Be!</B>
    <D attr="value"></D>
    <E>
      <F>Formula1</F>
      <F>Formula2</F>
    </E>
  </Sample>

XML C++ Class Generator Example 2: DTD -- Input File to Class Generator, CG.dtd

This DTD file, CG.dtd is referenced by the XML file CG.xml. CG.xml inputs XML C++ Class Generator.

<!ELEMENT Sample (A | (B, (C | (D, E))) | F)>
<!ELEMENT A (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT B (#PCDATA | F)*>
<!ELEMENT C (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT D (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST D attr CDATA #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT E (F, F)>
<!ELEMENT F (#PCDATA)>

XML C++ Class Generator Example 3: CG Sample Program

The CG sample program, CG.cpp, does the following:

1. Initializes the XML parser

2. Loads the DTD (by parsing the DTD-containing file-- the dummy document part is ignored)

3. Creates some objects using the generated classes

4. Invokes the validation function which verifies that the constructed classes match the DTD

5. Writes the constructed document to Sample.xml
