Example of an XML document with an inline xml schema

[WideBoy]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a little example of an xml document which is validated
using an inline xml schema. I'm a bit of a newbie, and I'm finding
this to be a bit of a mind bender, so an example or some pointers which
show me how to achieve this would be much appreciated.

I look forward to any help or advice any one can offer.

Here's a trivial example

<arbitrarytag xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="#local">
<xs:schema id="local">
<xs:element name="root" type="xs:integer"/>
</xs:schema>
<root>35a</root>
</arbitrarytag>

At least XSV [1] will process this in the desired way.

Hi Henry,

Thanks for your example, unfortunately it fails to validate in Altova's
XMLSpy. The failure message says:
Unable to load schema with target namespace "" from "#local"

Any ideas what this is trying to tell me and how I might fix it?

Regards,

Naran

Complain to Altova.

replace #local with an URL to your xml schema, e.g.:

<rss version="2.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.thearchitect.co.uk/schemas/rss-2_0.xsd">If your XML Schema has a namespace, you must use schemaLocation instead ofnoNamespaceSchemaLocation.- gerben www.xmlblueprint.com"Wide Boy" <[email protected]> wrote in messagenews:[email protected]...> Hi Henry,>> Thanks for your example, unfortunately it fails to validate in Altova's> XMLSpy.

Sorry, but this is not an option available to me as I'm trying to
generate an inline schema?
But #local clearly doesn't work with XMLSpy - any other ideas would be
most welcome.

Stan,

I tried using and testing the resource on the page you refer to, but
unfortunately, it too does not seem to work within XMLSpy? It seems
XMLSpy does not like an XML doc that starts with <root> after the XML
PI. In addition it doesn't seem to like the other suggestions
mentioned at this url. So still waiting for something works or even
some one to tell me that this sort of thing can not be done in XML
schema. This would be v. strange and a retrograde step especially as
this is possible in DTDs, so what gives?

Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Naran

Naran,

Just because one of the tools thinks something is invalid, doesn't mean it
is. As Henry Thompson said in his earlier post, complain to the tool vendor
about the problems. When it comes to schema-related questions, Henry is
usually the ultimate authority - after all, he's one of the main people
behind the W3C Schema spec.
