Hi, I'm using xinclude with xpointer element()-scheme to include an existing element of the same resource at a different location. The following bar.xml gives an example. In cruft-element with ID "c4" I'm including <fnac>a</fnac>. In cruft-element with ID "c5" I'm trying to include <fnac>b</fnac>. In cruft-element "c6" I'm trying to include <fnac>c</fnac> and added therefore a href="bar.xml" to avoid any "Resource Error". I'm doing all this with IDs defined in bar.xsd. Here comes the complete example:
<bar xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bar.xsd"> <fnorb id="snip"> <cruft id="c1"><fnac>a</fnac></cruft> <cruft id="c2"><fnac>b</fnac></cruft> <cruft id="c3"><fnac>c</fnac></cruft> <cruft id="c4"><xi:include xpointer="element(/1/1/1/1)"/></cruft> <cruft id="c5"><xi:include xpointer="element(c2/1)"/></cruft> <cruft id="c6"><xi:include href="bar.xml" xpointer="element(c3/1)"/></cruft> </fnorb> </bar> While this first works fine with xmllint --xinclude bar.xml, the later two fail: bar.xml:10: element include: XInclude error : detected a recursion in bar.xml bar.xml:9: element include: XInclude error : XPointer evaluation failed: #elemen t(c2/1) bar.xml:9: element include: XInclude error : could not load bar.xml, and no fall back was found <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <bar xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xi="http://www. w3.org/2001/XInclude" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bar.xsd"> <fnorb id="snip"> <cruft id="c1"><fnac>a</fnac></cruft> <cruft id="c2"><fnac>b</fnac></cruft> <cruft id="c3"><fnac>c</fnac></cruft> <cruft id="c4"><fnac>a</fnac></cruft> <cruft id="c5"><xi:include xpointer="element(c2/1)"/></cruft> <cruft id="c6"><xi:include href="bar.xml" xpointer="element(c2/1 )"/></cruft> </fnorb> </bar> Reading the recommendation at http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xinclude-20061115/#loops it says: " In other words, the following are all legal: [...]An xi:include element may identify a different part of the same local resource (same href, different xpointer)." This is what the first xi:include does successfully. I'm wondering why the other both don't work. Has anybody an idea? To make the example complete, I append here the bar.xsd: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"/> <xs:element name="fnorb"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="cruft" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:ID" use="required"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="cruft"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="fnac" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:ID" use="required"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="fnac"> <xs:complexType> <xs:simpleContent> <xs:extension base="xs:string"/> </xs:simpleContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="bar"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="fnorb"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> Kind regards, Sabine Immer auf dem Laufenden!
