namespace of type reference

[Koen De Wolf]

Dear all,

I have the following problem
In a schema I refer to a type in a different schema like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefa ult="qualified" attributeFormDe fault="unqualif ied"
targetNamespace ="http://www.example.com " xmlns:test="tes t">

<xs:import namespace="test " schemaLocation= "test.xsd"/>
<xs:element name="test">
<xs:complexType >
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="IncludedE lement" type="test:Test Type"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

What I want to achieve is the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test xmlns="http://www.example.com " xmlns:test="tes t"
xmlns:xsi="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocat ion="test test.xsd">
<test:IncludedE lement>
<test:SomeEleme nts/>
<test:IncludedE lement/>
</test:IncludedEl ement>
</test>

But this is what I get

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test xmlns="http://www.example.com " xmlns:test="tes t"
xmlns:xsi="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocat ion="test test.xsd">
<IncludedElemen t>
<test:SomeEleme nts/>
<test:IncludedE lement/>
</IncludedElement >
</test>

Using the schema above, the SomeElements and the nested IncludeElement are
of the correct namespace (test), But the "containing " IncludeElement is not
:(

I know a reference to that element instead of to that type will do the
trick, but the schema I am refering to only has only 1 global element, an I
am not able to change that schema.
Can someone help me out?

Many thanks,

Koen

If IncludedElement is supposed to be in the namespace test then you need
to define it in test.xsd and use
<xs:element ref="test:Inclu dedElement" />
here. Your main schema can only define elements in its targetNamespace .
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

That was what I was afraid of. So it is not possible to have somehow 2
target namespaces.

One schema has one target namespace and can only define elements in that
target namespace, any element in another namespace needs to be defined
in a separate schema that is then imported and the element is referenced.
