XSchema references, how does it actually work?

[Karl]

Hi!

I'm having trouble with referencing different schemas. I'm not sure how it's
supposed to work. When I work on the files, the
targetNamespace="www.test.com/schemas/test.xsd" does not exist for real. I
get error messages when I import the types to other schemas. If I change to
a relative path, it works fine. The problem is that I have to remember to
change all references when I wish to deploy the files. It's error phrone and
tedious to have to change it all the time. Is there any solutions to this
problem?

regards

Karl Z

I tried that, but it gives me the same error in the schema file "No content
model available for validation (possible empty DTD/Schema)", when I try to
save the xml file referencing the schema file.
