The following comment has been added to this issue: Author: Jian Zheng Created: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 5:15 PM Body: I have a very similar problem. My main.xsd references aaa.xsd (never bbb.xsd). aaa.xsd imports bbb. However bbb.xsd references aaa without <import>ing. I looked at XML Schema recommendation, but couldn't find an answer as to whether bbb.xsd needs to import aaa or not. My colleagues using XMLSpy doesn't have a problem with it.
****** aaa.xsd <xsd:schema targetNamespace="aaa" xmlns:aaa="aaa" xmlns:bbb="bbb" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xsd:import namespace="bbb" schemaLocation="bbb.xsd"/> ... </xsd:schema> ****** bbb.xsd <xsd:schema targetNamespace="bbb" xmlns:bbb="bbb" xmlns:aaa="aaa" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> ...using bbb: ... </xsd:schema> --------------------------------------------------------------------- View this comment: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1249?page=comments#action_37194 --------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1249 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: XERCESC-1249 Summary: Xerces complains about missing import namespace when it is imported within an included schema Type: Bug Status: Unassigned Priority: Major Project: Xerces-C++ Components: Validating Parser (Schema) (Xerces 1.5 or up only) Versions: 2.5.0 Assignee: Reporter: Andrew Fang Created: Mon, 9 Aug 2004 3:51 PM Updated: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 5:15 PM Environment: Windows XP Description: Xerces emit error message: "Schema Representation Constraint: Namespace 'efg' is referenced without <import> declaration" when parsing the Schema attached below. Schema main.xsd has namespace "abc" and it refers to attribute defined in "efg" namespace. Although there is no <xsd:import> in main.xsd but it is declared in a file included in main.xsd (include.xsd). I believe that the file included using xsd:include is considered as part of the main.xsd, the error message above is not necessary. ****** main.xsd <xsd:schema targetNamespace="abc" xmlns:e="efg" xmlns="abc" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xsd:include schemaLocation="include.xsd"/> <xsd:complexType name="S"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="Title"/> </xsd:sequence> <xsd:attribute ref="e:attr"/> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:schema> ****** include.xsd <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xsd:import namespace="efg" schemaLocation="import.xsd"/> </xsd:schema> ****** import.xsd <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="efg" xmlns="efg"> <xsd:attribute name="attr"> <xsd:simpleType> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:NMTOKENS"/> </xsd:simpleType> </xsd:attribute> </xsd:schema> --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
