I'm sorry for being vague.What I mean is that I have a schema that defines default values for certain attributes or elements, but the XML document that I provide omits these attributes/elements --> and I want to be able to grab the default values as if they were actually present in the XML document.For example:Say I have defined the element:<xs:element name="shipto"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="address" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="city" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="country" type="xs:string" required="yes" default="Canada"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType></xs:element>Now Say that I have this XML snippet:...<shipto> <name>John Doe</name> <address>123 St.</address> <city>Waterloo</city></shipto>...Since element "country" is required and has a default specified, I would imagine that the "country" element is available to me (say SAX or DOM processing) as if it was actually present in the "shipto" element. I can figure out how to validate an XML document against an XSD in Java, however I do not see a way to "write back" the completed (defaults populated) document so that I can use it for something else.Is there anyway to do this short of writing a routine to walk through the XSD and populate the elements in the XML?Thanks for your help,

Hi,I'm new to XML, XSD and XSLT.I was wondering if there is a way to "fill out" an XML document with its default values, as if "expanded" so that my XSLT processor could use these defaults in generating the output.I think if I had a schema-aware XSLT processor (SAXON-SA), then I could get this done easily as the transformation would be done against an XML document validated against an XSD.That is not an option for my company for various reasons.Is there a 2-stage process I can execute (in Java SAX/DOM?) that will "fill out" the required default values for elements or attributes?I see there are validator classes, but none of these allow me to "write back" the resultant XML(with defaults populated) so that I may use the "expanded" form in subsequent processing.Thanks,
