RE: [xml-dev] xsd : root element not found

["Stan Kitsis" <skits@microsoft.com>]

Darren,

Elements in your schema belong to three different namespaces:
http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/article/single/
http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/article/
http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/reference/

However, in your xml file you use them as if they were in the same
namespace.  Here's what you should do:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<standaloneArticle 
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
	
xmlns="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/article/single/";
	
xsi:schemaLocation="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/art
icle/single/ standaloneArticle.xsd">
	
xmlns:art="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/article/";
	
xsi:schemaLocation="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/art
icle/ article.xsd">  
	
xmlns:ref="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/reference/";
	
xsi:schemaLocation="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/ref
erence/ reference.xsd">  

  <art:article>
	...
  </art:article>
  <ref:reference>
	...
  </ref:reference>
</standaloneArticle>

So something like this would be correct?

(You have to bear with me, I've never attempted XML Schema before, and
though I've worked with XML before, I'm not an XML expert.)

[from article.xml]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<standaloneArticle
xmlns="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/article/single/";
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/art
icle
/single/ standaloneArticle.xsd">
  <article>
...
  </article>
</standaloneArticle>

[from standaloneArticle.xsd]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
<xs:schema
targetNamespace="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/articl
e/si
ngle/"
 
xmlns:sar="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/article/sing
le/"
  xmlns:art="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/article/";
 
xmlns:ref="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/reference/";
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; 
  elementFormDefault="qualified" 
  attributeFormDefault="qualified">
  <!-- import of external definitions -->
  <xs:import
namespace="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/article/";
           schemaLocation="article.xsd"/>
  <xs:import
namespace="http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/reference/";
           schemaLocation="reference.xsd"/>
  <!-- definition of complex type elements -->
  <xs:element name="standaloneArticle">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element ref="art:article" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
        <xs:element ref="ref:reference" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>


I wasn't sure how these namespace declarations should be setup and
defined -
I've basically been working from examples and trial and error.

Thanks again,

Darren

P.S. it seems to get bast the initial error now, but fails to validate
because it gets the error "Unexpected element 'article' in element
'standaloneArticle'. Expected: article". 'standaloneArticle.xsd'
validates
properly in XMLSpy Home.

Uhhhh...?

Hi Daren,

Your XML file has a root element standaloneArticle from the 
"http://globals.namespace.org"; namespace while your schema defines a 
standaloneArticle element in the 
http://globals.namespace.org/content/xml/xsd/v10/article/single/ (schema

target namespace) namespace so there is no definition for your root 
element in that schema.

Best Regards,
George
