Hi,

An XML file can be converted into a class hierarchy using JAXB but am not sure if a schema definition is mandatory for the operation. In case there is a dependency on XSD for this operation you can approach the same using JAXP parsers and POJOs. You will have to have the code which uses SAX/DOM parser APIs, iterate through the elements and set the values for the properties in the hierarchy.

I you were to give more details on what you are trying to accomplish, I might be able to suggest further options available.

Cheers,
Raj.

To work with JAXB one needs to have a schema. I don't think using JAXB one can generate classes from an XML document alone.

You can use XStream without XML schema file.
