XMLSpy or Liquid XML Studio are tools you could use for generating an XSD from XML. If you prefer some open source alternative, try Apache XMLBeans. It comes with some useful tools such as inst2xsd. It converts your sample XML to XSD. It comes with some arguments to tweek the generated XSD.

Camel allows you to define Type Converters by putting the annotation @Converter at class and converter-method level. You need to define a file META-INF/services/org/apache/camel/TypeConverter, which contains a comma separated list of packages Camel has to scan for Converter classes.
All fine as long as your Converter doesn’t need any dependencies injected. The Camel manual ‘extensively’ describes [...]
Imagine having a factory bean like MethodInvokingFactoryBean or MapFactoryBean (or any factory bean, but I’ll use these two as an example) and you want to call it using getApplicationContext().getBean(”myFactoryBean”).

Our flagship product, Supply-It, is a planning application that (amonst others) is capable of scheduling the complete workload of production plants. This can results in quite elaborate plannings with numerous production orders.
The logic that caused the planning to be what it is, is often quite complex and it may often be tough to understand [...]
Sometimes tests fail on our Hudson server even if they run fine into Eclipse. This was once again such a case. We where trying to run a test that makes calls to a graphical shell. In eclipse they ran just fine but on the hudson server they tried to connect to an X11 server (a [...]
