I am stuck with a problem where Validation of constraints(keyref) fails saying it can't find the matching key values. But, I do have the Key values present in my XML instance. I also think I have taken care of defining these Key and Keyref with proper scoping (in my case, KeyRef is in the parent scope of Key constraint definition).
Here's the specific constraint Validation error message from XmlSpy (similar issue with XmlBeans): "Undefined values for keyref identity constraint "stSgRef" - the values referred to by the field selector must match an existing unique/key value" Here's my XSD: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- edited with XMLSpy v2008 sp1 (http://www.altova.com) by spy (spy) --> <!--W3C Schema generated by XMLSpy v2008 (http://www.altova.com)--> <xs:schema targetNamespace="http://www.xxx.com/1.1";

Key { sg/name, @id, @name} => {sg1,a,b} This Key is defined at the 'owner' scope. My sample KeyRef in Xml instance: <sts> <owner id="c" name="d"> <st id="ru"> <sgReference> <name>sg1</name> <owner id="a" name="b"/> </sgReference> ..... So, I do have these KeyRef values(sg1,a,b) in the Key value. Why am I still getting this validation error? Unfortunately, I need to keep this design where "Owner" element is a container holding hundreds of "st" or "sg". And there can be hundreds of "Owner" elements. Appreciate any tips. It may be nothing to with typical namespace issue. -samy ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
