Hi, I'm working with a situation where my main schema has a target namespace, and it imports another schema that does not have a namespace. This example is taken directly from the O'Reilly book by Eric van der Vlist called "XML Schema", section 10.9. The main schema file is called library.xsd and it has a namespace. It is importing a schema file called person.xsd that has no namespace. When I try to generate code, the process fails and says that library.xsd is not valid, because the "person" element (imported from person.xsd) is not resolvable.
I followed the syntax from the book exactly, and both files validate fine in XML Spy. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I have the two schema files, the binding file, and the Castor invocation all below. Note that I am trying to generate Java where each namespace (including the no namespace) goes into a different package, but I hit the same error even if I use no binding file and don't try to do this. Both type binding and element binding also lead to the error. I am using the generate imported schemas option. Including rather than importing is not an option for us; we are using the namespaces and the packages in order to avoid naming collisions. Any help here is greatly appreciated!!
