Hello there

I have the following .xml code and the corresponding .xsd:

XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<lecturelist>

	xmlns="http://www.my-fh.com"

	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.my-fh.com

	file:lecturelist1.xsd">

	<lecture>

		<name>maths</name>

		<semsester>1</semester>

	</lecture>

</lecturelist>

XSD file:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

	targetNamespace="http://www.my-fh.com"

	xmlns:fh="http://www.my-fh.com"

>



<xs:element name="lecturelist">

	<xs:complexType>

		<xs:sequence>

			<xs:element ref="fh:lecture" maxOccurs="unbounded" />

		</xs:sequence>

	</xs:complexType>

</xs:element>



<xs:element name="lecture">

	<xs:complexType>

		<xs:sequence>

			<xs:element ref:"fh:name" />

			<xs:element ref:"fh:semester" />

		</xs:sequence>

	</xs:complexType>

</xs:element>



<xs:element name="title" type="xs:string"/>

<xs:element name="semester" type="xs:string"/>

Now I would like to extend the .xml file as following:

Extended XML file:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<lecturelist>

	xmlns="http://www.my-fh.com"

	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.my-fh.com

	file:lecturelist1.xsd">

	<lecture>

		<name>maths</name>

		<semester>1</semester>

	</lecture>

	<teacher>

		<name>steinberg</name>

		<age>55</age>

	</teacher>

</lecturelist>

Evidently I have to add some lines to the .xsd file too.
I tried this:

Code: Select all

]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

	targetNamespace="http://www.my-fh.com"

	xmlns:fh="http://www.my-fh.com"

	xmlns:fb="http://www.my-fb.com"

>



<xs:element name="lecturelist">

	<xs:complexType>

		<xs:sequence>

			<xs:element ref="fh:lecture" maxOccurs="unbounded" />

			<xs:element ref="fb:teacher" maxOccurs="unbounded" />

		</xs:sequence>

	</xs:complexType>

</xs:element>



<xs:element name="lecture">

	<xs:complexType>

		<xs:sequence>

			<xs:element ref:"fh:name" />

			<xs:element ref:"fh:semester" />

		</xs:sequence>

	</xs:complexType>

</xs:element>



<xs:element name="teacher">

	<xs:complexType>

		<xs:sequence>

			<xs:element ref:"fb:name" />

			<xs:element ref:"fb:age" />

		</xs:sequence>

	</xs:complexType>

</xs:element>



<xs:element name="title" type="xs:string"/>

<xs:element name="semester" type="xs:string"/>

My Problem: How do I set up the new .xsd properly if I insist on remaining the structure as shown in the first .xsd?

Thank you for your help!

Kind regards,
Troix

Hi,

Stick to the same namespace (the schema target namespace) when working with a single XSD.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

    targetNamespace="http://www.my-fh.com"

    xmlns:fh="http://www.my-fh.com">

    

    <xs:element name="lecturelist">

        <xs:complexType>

            <xs:sequence>

                <xs:element ref="fh:lecture" maxOccurs="unbounded" />

                <xs:element ref="fh:teacher" maxOccurs="unbounded" />

            </xs:sequence>

        </xs:complexType>

    </xs:element>

    

    <xs:element name="lecture">

        <xs:complexType>

            <xs:sequence>

                <xs:element ref="fh:name" />

                <xs:element ref="fh:semester" />

            </xs:sequence>

        </xs:complexType>

    </xs:element>

    

    <xs:element name="teacher">

        <xs:complexType>

            <xs:sequence>

                <xs:element ref="fh:name" />

                <xs:element ref="fh:age" />

            </xs:sequence>

        </xs:complexType>

    </xs:element>

    

    <xs:element name="title" type="xs:string"/>

    <xs:element name="semester" type="xs:string"/>

    <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>

    <xs:element name="age" type="xs:string"/>

</xs:schema>

Hello adrian

Thank you for the reply.
So there is a "name" in "lecture" and "teacher".
If I were to say that the "name" in "lecture" is different to the "name" of "teacher" in terms of type how would I have to separate
them?

Thank you in advance,

Troix

You can't declare two elements of the same name globally, so just declare the elements (or just one of them) locally (where used).

Code: Select all

    <xs:element name="teacher">

        <xs:complexType>

            <xs:sequence>

                <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>

                <xs:element ref="fh:age" />

            </xs:sequence>

        </xs:complexType>

    </xs:element>

There's one other aspect that I forgot to mention. If you go with the local elements, you will also need to specify elementFormDefault="qualified" on the schema root, so that the local elements are placed in the target namespace. Otherwise, by default (unqualified), the local elements are in "no namespace".

Adrian
