Ryan, I have been avoiding this issue for years. :-)
We use the version in the gt-app-schema test-data as the canonical version: http://svn.osgeo.org/geotools/trunk/modules/unsupported/app-schema/app-schema/src/test/resources/test-data/AppSchemaDataAccess.xsd Technically, you should use the version matching the release tag of the build you have. The XSD is used *only* to aid manual editing of mapping files (they are read with a non-validating parser). See this warning next to a non-canonical copy in GeoServer. (I'll be including this in the next update of the app-schema tutorial): https://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk/src/extension/app-schema/app-schema-test/src/test/resources/test-data/AppSchemaDataAccess.README.txt The reason the mapping file XSD has not been published is that: (1) We do not have a suitable persistent place to store it (although I think we could put it somewhere on geotools.org). (2) We would have to version it for releases and update it every time trunk is updated, and this is quite a bit of trouble just for editing help. There are still some nasty issues (think of a developer making code changes to trunk pushing out XSD changes to the file while a deployer tries to edit a mapping file for a trunk snapshot). The underlying problem is that this XSD lacks a governance process. (2a) Feel free to use the canonical location in your schemaLocation; beware: the content and location will change without notice. (gt-app-schema is planned to be officially supported and will be moved). (3) We should have a GUI configuration editor so users do not have to edit mapping files by hand. At the moment AppSchemaDataAccess.xsd is subject to least-bad management, and copies of the file have less failure modes than the other possibilities. I am open to suggestions if anyone can recommend a better solution. Kind regards, Ben.
