Hi all, I'll ask the question in one sentence first, and then I'll explain what I am trying to do.
Does libxml-ruby provide a way to validate a document against multiple XML Schemas such that any XML in different namespaces, with other XML Schemas mapped to the namespaces in an xsi:schemaLocation attribute on the root element are validated against their respective schemas if they are present? Example document: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no"?> <FOO:foo xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:FOO="http://foo.org/FOO"; xmlns:BAR="http://bar.org"; xmlns:BAZ="http://baz.org"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://foo.org http://foo.org/foo.xsd http://bar.org http://bar.org/bar.xsd";> <FOO:xmlData> <BAR:bar>42</BAR:bar> </FOO:xmlData> <FOO:xmlData> <BAZ:baz>some text</BAZ:baz> </FOO:xmlData> </FOO:foo> So in this example, there is a snippet of XML in the BAR namespace, and another in the BAZ namespace. The xsi:schemaLocation attribute has an XML schema mapped to the BAR namespace, but not to the BAZ namespace. I'd like to validate the whole document against the the FOO schema. With other namespaces, the XML is to be validated if a schema is present for that namespace, and ignored otherwise. My ruby code currently looks like this: doc = LibXML::XML::Document.file path_to_xml_file schema = LibXML::XML::Schema.new url_to_foo_schema puts doc.validate_schema schema The document is validating, even though the XML in the BAR namespace doesn't conform to the Schema for the BAR namespace.
