Re: Getting the namespace prefix

[Nick Betteridge]

Thanks for the quick reply.   Couldn't this be added to xerces - it must be a relatively easy thing to do. Seems a shame to have to parse the same schema twice.   I'm writing a SchemaWriter as I'm using xerces as the basis of  a schema editor. So far, so good except for the namespace prefix. XSDHandler creates the SchemaGrammar and also picks up the prefix.   Perhaps I should do a local build and make the fix?   Nick ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Greif To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 7:49 PM Subject: Re: Getting the namespace prefix The namespace prefix is not a part of the PSVI (post schema validation infoset) which is represented by the XSModel.  I think you'd probably have to do a separate parse of the schema file and rummage in the SAX events or the DOM to find the prefix.   Jeff   ----- Original Message ----- From: Nick Betteridge To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 11:38 AM Subject: Getting the namespace prefix I'm having difficulty in trying to get the namespace prefix.   When I get the SchemaGrammar and recurse down through the model, when I get to the simpleTypes (eg "xs:string") I can recover both the name and the namespace of the simpleType, but I can't work out how to recover the namespace prefix.
