Oxygen XML Forum

I can not seem to get the validation to like the XML/XSD documents

My XML starts:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<MetroBill
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="Metrobill.xsd">

My XSD starts:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified" >

I get an error that says:

Severity: warning
Description: SchemaLocation: schemaLocation value = 'Metrobill.xsd' must have even number of URI's.
Start location: 4:25
End location: 4:40

I can not figure out what the heck that means. It does not seem that any change I make removes this error.

When I display the .xsd file it shows the message:

Cannot find the declaration of element 'xs:schema' and highlights that in the document.

This could be two different issues but maybe it is the same problem. I would really appreciate any help. I tried have Oxygen generate a new Schema and it is still indicating the same error about the URI's but added an error about the target namespace of a attribute declaration must not match 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Your schema does not define a target namespace therefore you should use the xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation instead of xsi:schemaLocation to associate the schema with the document If your schema defined a target namespace, let's say http://www.example.com/namespace then you would have associated the schema with the document with something like that is adding the namespace to the schema location value.

oXygen provides an associate schema action that helps you by automatically inserting the right xsi: attribute and value to associate the selected schema.
