   Re: [xml-dev] Schema Extension and validation of an instance

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

Hi,

I have found my problem, but haven't come up with a solution!!

I didn't post the full example in previous posts, therefore it was
hard to see what was wrong(sorry about that). My problem is with
multiple instances of the one namespace specified in the
schemaLocation attribute!!

My instance document
********
<ipdr:IPDRDoc
xmlns="http://www.mySchema.com/ccf";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:ipdr="http://www.ipdr.org/namespaces/IPDR";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mySchema.com/ccf ccf.xsd
http://www.ipdr.org/namespaces/IPDR http://www.ipdr.org/public/IPDRDoc3.5.xsd
http://www.ipdr.org/namespaces/IPDR newComplexType.xsd">

<iprd:IPDR xsi:type="ipdr:IPDRTypeExtended">
...............
</ipdr:IPDR>
</ipdr:IPDRDoc>

********
I needed to wrap the IPDR element in the IPDRDoc element(defined in
IPDRDoc3.5xsd). Looks like; once the processor gets a schema that
satisfies a namespace, it doesn't try to load a second schema of the
same namespace!! When I switched the order(of the IPDR namespace) in
the schemaLocation, I got different errors.

OK, but where does one go from here? In general how is this problem solved?

Best Regards,
Chris.
