From a quick glance, in your
"imported schema", element "globalElement is not in the "urn:foo" namespace
because it does not have a namespace prefix, and you have not specified a
default namespace for that schema. If you add a default namespace declaration to
the imported schema that makes the "urn:foo" namespace your default namespace,
it should work.
I have a main transcation schema which INCLUDEs a schema
containing a number
of type definitions. That schema IMPORTs another schema
which contains some
global element declarations which are used to extend one
of the types in the
import'ing schema.
Transaction schema
--> includes base types
-->
imports global elements
When an XML instance based on the transaction
schema is created that
contains a reference to one of the global elements of
the imported schema,
XML Spy outputs the message :-
'Could not
validate element <<globalElement>>. No type definition was
found'
If I view the transaction schema, the imported types and elements
are
clearly visible. Can anyone tell me why the XML is invalid ??
I
have attached a simplified example below :-
