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

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

Some processors allow multiple schema documents per namespace, Xerces 
for instance has a feature that controls this.
The common solution is to refer to a wrapper schema document that 
includes all your schema documents for your namespace but in your case 
you just need to include from your newComplexType.xsd the 
http://www.ipdr.org/public/IPDRDoc3.5.xsd schema.
In fact I think you really need to include the schema that defines the 
base type you extend in your newComplexType.xsd schema as with XML 
Schema each schema document needs to be valid.

Best Regards,
George
