How to Customize Sample XML Generation

You can customize sample XML generation by specifying the following parameters. Select Preferences > XSL Maps in the Tools main menu of Oracle JDeveloper to display the Preferences dialog. You can modify the following settings under Sample XML Generation:

  • Number of repeating elements

    Specifies how many occurrences of an element are created if the element has the attribute maxOccurs set to a value greater than 1. If the specified value is greater than the value of the maxOccurs attribute for a particular element, the number of occurrences created for that particular element is the maxOccurs value, not the specified number.

  • Generate optional elements

    If selected, any optional element (its attribute minOccurs set to a value of 0) is generated the same way as any required element (its attribute minOccurs set to a value greater than 0).

  • Maximum depth

    To avoid the occurrence of recursion in sample XML generation caused by optional elements, specify a maximum depth in the XML document hierarchy tree beyond which no optional elements are generated.
