tool to create a domain model diagram

Question

My requirement is to create a diagram which can represent the object relationship which is stored in an xml.

For example

This needs to get translated as Class abc has a field which is xyz. This heirarchy can be multi level. and we need to represent a) high level struturing of classes b) contents of these classes.

I looked at some tools like umlet, violet, visio. but all of these require a lot of manual intervention. Is there a tool which can be configured to read from xml.

Try using Graphviz and the dot language.

http://www.graphviz.org/

You'll need to write a translation layer, but that shouldn't be too hard in the language of your choice.
