I am having a problem while reading a schema which includes other schema. I cannot send the schema information due to business policies, but I can create samples.
My schema goes like this: On SchemaOne.xsd: <xs:schema xmlns:careq="http://my.schema.SchemaOne.xsd"; xmlns:xs=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; targetNamespace="http://my.schema.one"; elementFormDefault="unqualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" version="1.0"> <xs:include schemaLocation="SchemaTwo.xsd"/> On SchemaTwo.xsd: <xs:schema xmlns:mv="http://my.schema.SchemaTwo.xsd"; xmlns:xs=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; elementFormDefault="unqualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" version="1.0"> (...) <xs:simpleType name="MySimpleType"> <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation>------------------</xs:documentation> <xs:documentation>------------------</xs:documentation> </xs:annotation> <xs:restriction base="xs:string"> <xs:maxLength value="100"/> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType> (...) SchemaOne.xsd does not use the MySimpleType. When I try the method read() from a SchemaReader, I get this error: org.exolab.castor.xml.schema.SchemaException: An error occured at line: 53: getSimpleType: the simple type 'MySimpleType' is not a built-in type as defined in XML Schema specification. at org.exolab.castor.xml.schema.reader.ImportUnmarshaller.<init>( ImportUnmarshaller.java:203) at org.exolab.castor.xml.schema.reader.SchemaUnmarshaller.startElement( SchemaUnmarshaller.java:519) at org.exolab.castor.xml.schema.reader.Sax2ComponentReader.startElement( Sax2ComponentReader.java:255) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.startElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractXMLDocumentParser.emptyElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanStartElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDispatcher.dispatch(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.exolab.castor.xml.schema.reader.SchemaReader.read( SchemaReader.java:248) ( front-end stack trace ) Caused by: org.exolab.castor.xml.schema.SchemaException: An error occured at line: 53: getSimpleType: the simple type 'ElectronicAddressString' is not a built-in type as defined in XML Schema specification. at org.exolab.castor.xml.schema.reader.Sax2ComponentReader.startElement( Sax2ComponentReader.java:258) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.startElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractXMLDocumentParser.emptyElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanStartElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDispatcher.dispatch(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.exolab.castor.xml.schema.reader.ImportUnmarshaller.<init>( ImportUnmarshaller.java:197) ... 41 more I've looked at internet and found something like "this happens when the schema namespace is the same as http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";, but this is not what happens. However, the SchemaTwo.xsd does not have a targetNamespace defined and I was thinking that if this could be a bug. I do not have access to the entire codebase, but I could find this on fisheye.codhaus.org: SimpleType result = null; if (ns == null) { //-- first check user-defined types result = (SimpleType)_simpleTypes.get(name); if (result != null) { //-- resolve deferred type if necessary if (result.getType() != result) { //-- can result.getType ever return null? //-- We can check, just in case. if (result.getType() != null) { result = (SimpleType)result.getType(); result.setParent(this); _simpleTypes.put(name, result); } } } //-- otherwise try built-in types else { result= simpleTypesFactory.getBuiltInType(name); //if we have a built-in type not declared in the good namespace -> Exception * if ( (result != null) && (_namespaces.contains(DEFAULT_SCHEMA_NS))) { String err = "getSimpleType: the simple type '"+name+ "' has not been declared in XML Schema namespace.";* throw new IllegalArgumentException(err); } } } else if (ns.equals(_schemaNamespace)) { result= simpleTypesFactory.getBuiltInType(canonicalName); * if (result == null) {* * String err = "getSimpleType: the simple type '"+canonicalName+ "' is not a built-in type as defined in XML Schema specification.";* throw new IllegalArgumentException(err); } } There might be a bug with the xsd having no namespace? In what cases the result is null? Do you need more information? I need to solve this as soon as I can, because even setting setValidation(false); on the reader does not work. Thank you, Fausto. -- Obrigado, Fausto.
