The following
tables outline how Message Bridge supports both Document
Type Definitions (DTD) and XML Schema (XSD). Each of the declarations
and elements listed in these tables are supported, either fully or
partially. Where there is not full support, the extent of the support
is described in the Comments column.
Message Bridge is capable of importing DTDs and XSDs with
these declarations and elements, and it generates the Java code
necessary for implementing each of the features in Message Bridge
DataBeans.
The following table shows the elements for which Message Bridge provides
either full or partial support.
