Re: [xml-dev] key and keyref issues

The elements in the source document are all in a namespace but the path expressions in your key definitions are looking for elements in no namespace.

I’m attempting to constrain a schema, which has a lot of xsd:ID and xsd:IDREF, so that, for example, a Person IDREF can only refer to a Person ID. 

 

I wrote a key and keyref constraint thus:

 

<xsd:element name="ElectionReport" type="ElectionReport">

      <xsd:key name="personKey">

           <xsd:selector xpath="./Person"/>

           <xsd:field xpath="@ObjectId"/>

      </xsd:key>

      <xsd:keyref name="personKeyRef" refer="personKey">

           <xsd:selector xpath="./Election/Candidate"/>

           <xsd:field xpath="PersonId"/>

      </xsd:keyref>

</xsd:element>

 

However, when I try it against an example I wrote up (which should throw a validation error), it succeeds with no errors.

I’ve attached both my schema and example file. I am using XMLSpy to validate my instances.

 

Thanks,
