11) Now open the created Schema and remove the few xsd:schema attributes which are not required (nxsd:hasHeader, nxsd:HeaderLines , nxsd:headerLinesTerminatedBy) and save it.
12) Deploy the Project to server
13) Give the value for input as ‘Ravi, 15, 1000’ and click on Test Web Service and then click on ‘Launch Flow Trace’
14) Click on Input and Translate to see the comma seperated input and XML output.
