             Summary: User Request: publish permalinks to xsd files
                 Key: OOZIE-1120
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-1120
             Project: Oozie
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: docs
    Affects Versions: trunk
            Reporter: jun aoki
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: trunk


It will be good if the schema files are accessible from a real xml file,
but not in a part of web page.
For example
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/oozie/trunk/client/src/main/resources/oozie-workflow-0.4.xsd?revision=1382193&view=co
is a real file, but the URL is not ideal because it has a
revision number and it should not even be in a Subversion.
Instead, it will be great if we could publish it shorter and more permanent
link type like
http://oozie.apache.org/schemas/3.1.3/oozie-workflow-0.4.xsd

What users benefit from it is they can open any XML editor (e.g. Eclipse,
XMLSpy) and start with schemaLocation attribute, then the editors will 
autocomplete and suggests possible elements and attributes.

Editor Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<workflow-app xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.4"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
    xsi:schemaLocation="uri:oozie:workflow:0.4
http://oozie.apache.org/schemas/3.1.3/oozie-workflow-0.4.xsd";
    name="flow1">

    <start to="next1"/>
    <action name="action1">
   <map-reduce></map-reduce>
   <ok to="ok1"/>
   <error to="error1"/>
    </action>

    <end name="end1"/>
</workflow-app>

where <start> <action> <map-reduce> <end> and all other elements defined in the 
xsd can be suggested and autocompleted by the XML editors. It is very 
productive for users.
