Hi Richard

I think you’re running into the infamous elementFormDefault=”qualified” | ”unqualified” issue.

If you don’t put an elementFormDefault attribute in the <schema> element of your schema the default is elementFormDefault=”unqualified”. This means that when you refer to non-global elements (such as your CustomerNumber, ValidCustomer … elements below) you _must_ refer to them _without_ a namespace. Global elements are unaffected by this setting – you must always refer to them with a namespace (if one was defined in the original schema).

On the other hand if you add the attribute elementFormDefault=”qualified” to the <schema> element then all elements (global and local) _must_ be referred to _with_ the namespace.

So you have 2 choices:

Add elementFormDefault=”qualified” to your original schema and re-run scomp after which I think your code will work with the XML Instance doc you’ve provided.
Change your XML instance doc so that instead of defining xmlns="http://infor.com/ResponseBatch" in your <ResponseBatch> element (which also affects the descendants of that element) you define just xmlns:tns="http://infor.com/ResponseBatch" and update your <ResponseBatch> to be <tns:ResponseBatch> (you can choose whatever prefix you like). Do _not_ add the same prefix to the children elements. Defining it this way will not affect the descendants of that element which will mean that they will get the “no-namespace” namespace – which is what you want if you don’t use elementFormDefault=”qualified”.

Personally I recommend option 1. But that’s just me – I’ve heard people argue it both ways.

Cheers,

Lawrence

Subject: Attributes and NameSpaces

I can retrieve attributes using a XSD and XML without a name space, but with a namespace the following will not work. I would appreciate any help.

XSD (ResponseBatch.xsd)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://infor.com/ResponseBatch"

xmlns="http://infor.com/ResponseBatch"

xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<xsd:element name="ResponseBatch">

<xsd:complexType>

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="CustomerNumber" type="xsd:string"/>

<xsd:element name="ValidCustomer" type="xsd:string"/>

<xsd:element name="CustomerName" type="xsd:string"/>

<xsd:element name="ListPrice" type="xsd:int"/>

</xsd:sequence>

<xsd:attribute ref="ResponseID"/>

<xsd:attribute ref="ConsumerKey"/>

<xsd:attribute ref="Language"/>

<xsd:attribute ref="DateTime"/>

<xsd:attribute ref="SerialID"/>

</xsd:complexType>

</xsd:element>

<xsd:attribute name="ResponseID" type="xsd:string"/>

<xsd:attribute name="ConsumerKey" type="xsd:string"/>

<xsd:attribute name="Language" type="xsd:string"/>

<xsd:attribute name="DateTime" type="xsd:string"/>

<xsd:attribute name="SerialID" type="xsd:string"/>

</xsd:schema>

XML (ResponseBatch.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<CustomerName>Southeastern Industrial & Supp</CustomerName>

</ResponseBatch>

Java Test Code (ResponseBatch.java)

import com.infor.responseBatch.*;

// import noNamespace.*;

// Illustrates how to use XMLBeans classes to get weather details from an

// xml document in weatherInput.xml file.

public class ResponseBatch {

public static void main(String args[]) {

try {

System.out.println("At the start111");

String filePath = "c:\\aa1\\ResponseBatch.xml";

java.io.File inputXMLFile = new java.io.File(filePath);

ResponseBatchDocument ResponseBatchDoc = ResponseBatchDocument.Factory

.parse(inputXMLFile);

ResponseBatchDocument.ResponseBatch ResponseBatchElement = ResponseBatchDoc.getResponseBatch();

System.out.println("ValidateCustomer details of Response ID "

+ ResponseBatchElement.getResponseID()

+ ", Consumer ID = " + ResponseBatchElement.getConsumerKey()

+ ", Language = " + ResponseBatchElement.getLanguage()

+ ", Date/Time = " + ResponseBatchElement.getDateTime()

+ ", Serial ID = " + ResponseBatchElement.getSerialID());

/* ResponseBatchDocument.ResponseBatch.Response ResponseElement = ResponseBatchElement.getResponse();

System.out.println("Customer Number is "+ ResponseElement.getCustomerNumber());

System.out.println("Customer Name is " + ResponseElement.getCustomerName());

System.out.println("Valid Customer is " + ResponseElement.getValidCustomer());

System.out.println("List Price is " + ResponseElement.getListPrice());

} catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}
