[RNG] Excluding the null-namespace

[Christian Roth]

Hi,

given the following schema:

Code: Select all

<grammar 

  xmlns="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0"

  xmlns:a="http://relaxng.org/ns/compatibility/annotations/1.0"

  datatypeLibrary="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-datatypes"

  ns="mynamespace">

  <start>

    <element name="root">

      <zeroOrMore>

        <attribute>

          <anyName>

            <except>

              <nsName ns=""/>

              <nsName ns="mynamespace"/>

            </except>

          </anyName>

        </attribute>

      </zeroOrMore>

    </element>

  </start>

</grammar>

why does the line

Code: Select all

<nsName ns=""/>

resolve to "mynamespace" instead of "[No Namespace]" (i.e. the null namespace)?



How would I exclude all attributes in the null-namespace in my above schema?

Thanks,
Christian

Hi,

That's a bug in the RNG diagram representation, it considers an empty @ns value as unset and incorrectly inherits the namespace. It should be "no namespace". I've logged this on our issue tracking tool.

From what I tested your schema is correctly excluding all attributes from "no namespace".

Thank you Adrian for the info. So my schema is correct, just the visual representation in oXygen isn't (yet ). Good to know, and enough to let me continue my work for now.

Hi,

Just to update this thread, the rendering issue should be fixed in Oxygen 17.1.
