Getting xsd restrictions of specific xml element

Question

Is it possible to get restrictions of specific element when I'm parsing XML file in Java?

For example, if I have a schema:

<xs:element name="MyString" minOccurs="0">
  <xs:simpleType>
   <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
    <xs:maxLength value="100"/>
   </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

when I get node MyString during XML file parsing I want to be able to acquire information that its restrictions are xs:string and maxLength = 100.

Answer 1

I would recommend this project.

It is the same jaxb plugin as Puce linked, but with proper maven project and some improvements.

You could look for/ write a JAXB plugin to generate Bean Validation Annotations (JSR-303), e.g.:
