Namespace prefix in XSD - .NET Framework

Tanja Schaettler

Hello!

I have an existing SOAP message which looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap .org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<xsi:MaintainCT OBomResponse
SOAP-ENV:encodingSty le="http://schemas.xmlsoap .org/soap/encoding/">
<return xsi:type="xsd:s tring">...

and I need to define an XSD for it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsi:schema targetNamespace ="http://schemas.xmlsoap .org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:soapenv=" http://schemas.xmlsoap .org/soap/envelope/">
<xsd:element name="Envelope" >
<xsd:complexTyp e>
<xsd:sequence >
<xsd:element name="Body" form="qualified ">
<xsd:complexTyp e>
<xsd:sequence >
<xsd:element name="MaintainC TOBomResponse">
<xsd:complexTyp e>
<xsd:sequence >
<xsd:element name="return">
<xsd:complexTyp e>
<xsd:sequence >
...
<xsd:attribut e name="type"/>

When I validate the XML with XML Spy it says: "Mandatory element
'MaintainCTOBom Response' expected in place of 'xsi:MaintainCT OBomResponse'".

I cannot change the XML, how can I add the namespace prefix in the XSD
so that the xsi:MaintainCTO BomResponse element and the return xsi:type
attribute can successfully be validated? Thanks for your help.
Regards, Tanja

Hi,

It is not possible to define more than one namespace within a single xml
schema. However, it is possible to reuse an xml schema with a different
namespace by importing it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace ="http://schemas.xmlsoap .org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:prefix="---namespace-of-MaintainCTOBomR esponse---">
<xsd:import namespace="---namespace-of-MaintainCTOBomR esponse---"
schemaLocation= "---schema-with-MaintainCTOBomR esponse---.xsd"/>
<xsd:element name="Envelope" >
<xsd:complexTyp e>
<xsd:sequence >
<xsd:element name="Body" form="qualified ">
<xsd:complexTyp e>
<xsd:sequence >
<xsd:element ref="prefix:Mai ntainCTOBomResp onse"/>

Default namespace and attributes

by: John L. Clark | last post by:

I am curious as to the rationale, and effect, of having default namespaces not applying (directly) to attributes (see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#defaulting). Given an attribute without a namespace prefix, what is its namespace, if default namespaces do not apply? Are (either of) prefixed or non-prefixed attributes correct? For example, are the following equivalent: <html:br class="foo"...
