[oXygen-user] XML Catalog puzzle

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Adrian Buza)]

Hello Gary,

When relying on the namespace instead of an explicit schema association 
(xsi:schemaLocation), Oxygen only associates one schema for the root 
element namespace of the XML instance. Any other namespaces from the XML 
instance are ignored.


Why do you consider using xsi:schemaLocation is a problem?
As long as you have an XML catalog that resolves the schema location, it 
doesn't really matter what location is being used.

Instead of using a canonical location, you could use the actual 
namespace as the schema location in xsi:schemaLocation and it would work 
in Oxygen.
e.g.
<oval_definitions xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5 
http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5 
http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5#independent 
http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5#independent" ...

The alternative is to modify the main XML schema (or create another main 
XML schema) to import all namespaces that are used in the XML instance.

Regards,
Adrian
