Basic Usage

The examples below assume an SDO created with the schema and instance information shown below, using the XML Data Access Service.

The instance document below describes a single company, called 'MegaCorp', which contains a single department, called 'Advanced Technologies'. The Advanced Technologies department contains three employees. The company employeeOfTheMonth is referencing the second employee, 'Jane Doe'. 

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>  <company xmlns="companyNS" name="MegaCorp"    employeeOfTheMonth="E0003">   <departments name="Advanced Technologies" location="NY" number="123">     <employees name="John Jones" SN="E0001"/>     <employees name="Jane Doe" SN="E0003"/>     <employees name="Al Smith" SN="E0004" manager="true"/>   </departments> </company>

The root element of the schema is a company. The company contains departments, and each department contains employees. Each element has a number of attributes to store things like name, serial number, and so on. Finally, the company also has an IDREF attribute which identifies one of the employees as the 'employeeOfTheMonth'. 

 <xsd:schema     xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"   xmlns:sdo="commonj.sdo"   xmlns:sdoxml="commonj.sdo/xml"   xmlns:company="companyNS"   targetNamespace="companyNS">   <xsd:element name="company" type="company:CompanyType"/>   <xsd:complexType name="CompanyType">     <xsd:sequence>       <xsd:element name="departments" type="company:DepartmentType"          maxOccurs="unbounded"/>     </xsd:sequence>     <xsd:attribute name="name" type="xsd:string"/>     <xsd:attribute name="employeeOfTheMonth" type="xsd:IDREF"        sdoxml:propertyType="company:EmployeeType"/>    </xsd:complexType>   <xsd:complexType name="DepartmentType">     <xsd:sequence>       <xsd:element name="employees" type="company:EmployeeType"           maxOccurs="unbounded"/>     </xsd:sequence>     <xsd:attribute name="name" type="xsd:string"/>     <xsd:attribute name="location" type="xsd:string"/>     <xsd:attribute name="number" type="xsd:int"/>   </xsd:complexType>   <xsd:complexType name="EmployeeType">     <xsd:attribute name="name" type="xsd:string"/>     <xsd:attribute name="SN" type="xsd:ID"/>     <xsd:attribute name="manager" type="xsd:boolean"/>   </xsd:complexType> </xsd:schema>

The XML Data Access Service maps the schema to an SDO. Attributes such as "name" become primitive properties, the sequence of employees becomes a many-valued containment relationship, and so on. Note that the containment relationships are expressed as one complex type within another, whereas non-containment references are expressed in terms of ID and IDREF, with a special sdoxml:propertyType attribute specifying the type of the non-containment reference.
