Including a schema without namespace into a schema with namespace is not possible ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WSCOMMONS-78 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSCOMMONS-78 Project: WS-Commons Issue Type: Bug Components: XmlSchema Reporter: Jochen Wiedmann Attachments: XmlSchema-Include-Without-Namespace.patch The XML Schema specification states in "4.2.1 Assembling a schema for a single target namespace from multiple schema definition documents": 2 One of the following must be true: ... 2.3 SII has no targetNamespace [attribute] (but SII' does). 3 The appropriate case among the following must be true: ... 3.2 If clause 2.3 above is satisfied, then the schema corresponding to the <include>d item's parent <schema> must include not only definitions or declarations corresponding to the appropriate members of its own [children], but also components identical to all the - schema components- of I, except that anywhere the - absent- target namespace name would have appeared, the - actual value- of the targetNamespace [attribute] of SII' is used. In particular, it replaces - absent- in the following places: 3.2.1 The {target namespace} of named schema components, both at the top level and (in the case of nested type definitions and nested attribute and element declarations whose code was qualified) nested within definitions; 3.2.2 The {namespace constraint} of a wildcard, whether negated or not; In other words, it is possible to include a schema without namespace, as if it had the namespace of the including schema. Unfortunately this fails with XmlSchema, as the attached patch demonstrates. The patch includes a simple test case and could be applied, if this bug is fixed. Suggested resolution, as realized in JaxMeXS: If such a schema is being parsed, then mutable instances of QName should be created, which would always return the target namespace of the schema. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
