[Boost-users] boost::serialization XSD support

Hi,
 
I've got a pretty strange problem.
 
We are using boost::serialization library to serialize arbitrary structs
into XML. That is working pretty good.
 
Our problems are:
 
- we also need to generate schema files (XSD) for the archive file,
since this XML archive file is going to be used by other programs (e.g.
written in Java etc.), and 
- the unserialization part should be validated through the schema file.
 
 
Currently, the boost::serialization library can serialize / deserialize
our structs to XML just fine, but:
 
How can we add XSD generation support?
How can we 'force' boost::serialization to validate the XML file through
an schema file (XSD)?
 
 
PS: Unfortunately, the automatic generation of the XSD file is a strict
requirement, that is why we cannot use regular XML <> C++ object mapping
tools, where the C++ codes are generated by an external tool from a
schema (XSD) file.
 
PS2: If you know other third party tools that can solve the above
mentioned problem, please feel free to write.
 
 
Thank you in advance!
