Importing a DFDL schema file

You can import DFDL schema files that were created outside of the IBM® WebSphere® Message Broker Toolkit, and use them in the development of your message flow applications.

Note: For information about how to create a DFDL schema file from an existing resource, see Creating a DFDL schema file by using the New Message Model wizard.

Complete the following tasks to import your DFDL schema files:

Importing DFDL schema files into the workspace

Before you start:

Before completing this task:
  • You must have created a DFDL schema file that conforms to the DFDL specification.
  • You must have the IBM WebSphere(r) Message Broker Toolkit open in the Broker Application Development perspective.

You can use the drag-and-drop method to import DFDL schema files from your file system into the IBM WebSphere(r) Message Broker Toolkit. Drag the DFDL schema files that you are importing to the Message Broker Project in the Broker Development view where you want the DFDL schema files to be stored. Do not drag them onto a blank area in the Broker Development view.

To import your DFDL schema files into the workspace by using the drag-and-drop method:

  1. In your file system, locate the DFDL schema files that you want to import into the IBM WebSphere(r) Message Broker Toolkit.
  2. Drag your DFDL schema files to a specific location in the Broker Development view. When you are dragging resources into the Broker Development view, the project or folder into which you are trying to drop the resource is selected.
  3. Ensure that your DFDL schema files are copied into the IBM WebSphere(r) Message Broker Toolkit, and are visible in the Broker Development view.

The DFDL schema files are copied into your IBM WebSphere(r) Message Broker Toolkit workspace, and stored in the Message Broker Project that you selected.
