How to get an XML Schema Example for JAXB testing?

Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) is a Java API that allows Java developers to map Java classes to XML representations.

Here is good example of XML schema file, PurchaseOrder.xsd, that you can use to play with JAXB API:

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
 <xsd:element name="purchaseOrder" type="PurchaseOrderType"/>
 <xsd:element name="comment" type="xsd:string"/>
 <xsd:complexType name="PurchaseOrderType">
  <xsd:sequence>
   <xsd:element name="shipTo" type="USAddress"/>
   <xsd:element name="billTo" type="USAddress"/>
   <xsd:element ref="comment" minOccurs="0"/>
   <xsd:element name="items" type="Items"/>
  </xsd:sequence>
  <xsd:attribute name="orderDate" type="xsd:date"/>
 </xsd:complexType>
 <xsd:complexType name="USAddress">
  <xsd:sequence>
   <xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string"/>
   <xsd:element name="street" type="xsd:string"/>
   <xsd:element name="city" type="xsd:string"/>
   <xsd:element name="state" type="xsd:string"/>
   <xsd:element name="zip" type="xsd:decimal"/>
  </xsd:sequence>
  <xsd:attribute name="country" type="xsd:NMTOKEN" fixed="US"/>
 </xsd:complexType>
 <xsd:complexType name="Items">
  <xsd:sequence>
   <xsd:element name="item" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
    <xsd:complexType>
     <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="productName" type="xsd:string"/>
      <xsd:element name="quantity">
       <xsd:simpleType>
        <xsd:restriction base="xsd:positiveInteger">
         <xsd:maxExclusive value="100"/>
        </xsd:restriction>
       </xsd:simpleType>
      </xsd:element>
      <xsd:element name="USPrice" type="xsd:decimal"/>
      <xsd:element ref="comment" minOccurs="0"/>
      <xsd:element name="shipDate" type="xsd:date" minOccurs="0"/>
     </xsd:sequence>
     <xsd:attribute name="partNum" type="SKU" use="required"/>
    </xsd:complexType>
   </xsd:element>
  </xsd:sequence>
 </xsd:complexType>
 <xsd:simpleType name="SKU">
  <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
   <xsd:pattern value="\d{3}-[A-Z]{2}"/>
  </xsd:restriction>
 </xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:schema>

See the next tutorial for the Java data classes the above XML Schema should be binding to.
