data-entry tool for editing XML documents based on an XSD

Hi,

I've written a few schemas for an XML-based application interface.
I'll be writing the backend of my side of the interface, but I'd like
to mock-up the other side of the interface.

One idea would be to use a tool that would read the XSD and create a
GUI data-entry tool. Basically, it would parse the XSD and put up a
bunch of named text fields or something. I would enter the data, save
it to a file, and then input this file into my application for testing.

Does anyone know of anything that does this? I found one tool:
http://www.felixgolubov.com/XMLEditor/ It does what I ask, but there
are a few features missing. For one, I'd like to be able to have
multiple XML documents (each with a different XSD) open at once.

So, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful!

There are several commercial tools that you could look at:
1) Microsoft InfoPath -
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX010857921033.aspx
2) Adobe LiveCycle Designer -
http://www.adobe.com/products/server...gner/main.html

It would be worth your time to test run these tools against what you
want to achieve. I am not too sure if both the above tools can create a
form based on several XSD's at one go.

Hope this helps.
Romin.

Romin,

Thanks for the reply. I looked into both products and immediately got
lost. Both are very full-featured, and probably a little feature-heavy
for what I'm looking for.

If anyone knows of any lighter-weight apps, please let me know.

I am having a problem reading a simple update to the database. Basically I'm testing a small change to the pubs database -- changing the price of the Busy Executive's Database Guide from 19.99 to 1997 and back.
