XML schema compositor “sequence” will enforce ordering I know this is old but I just came upon the post. Until today I would most likely answer the question Does XML care about the order of elements? with No, unless you use a poorly written xml parser. However, today a third party application complained that the … Read more
You seem to be on the right track. I’ll make a few points here that might help. Within an instance document, you use XML namespaces to identify the namespace that an element or attribute is in. Within a schema document, you declare elements and attributes that will appear in instances. What namespace are they declared … Read more
You can successfully integrate xsd.exe into the Visual Studio IDE like this: Go into Tools, External Tools and click the Add button: 2010 2015 / 2017 Title: Create Schema From Class Command (per framework): 4.0 C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\x64\xsd.exe 4.5.1 C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools\x64\xsd.exe 4.6.* C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6.* Tools\x64\xsd.exe … Read more
Basically it references another element that is declared elsewhere, which may or may not be the same schema document. For instance, it could come from an externally referenced schema in a different namespace. Suppose you use the item element a lot in several different schemas, you can declare it (and any other common types and … Read more
Putting this at the top of any offending file works for me: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?> <!DOCTYPE project>
You need to change your XML instance. Your current one says that there is a type called description in the namespace http://www.namespace.org/recipe. However, in your XSD definition, the only types exposed in that namespace are called recipe and descriptionType. So either define a type called description in the XSD schema, or change your instance so … Read more
Figured it out, had to use –schema instead of –validate. xmllint –schema yourxsd.xsd yourxml.xml –noout The –noout makes sure your code in XSD and XML doesn’t show. With this option you will only see the Validation Errors.
Add one more slash after file:// in the value of xsi:schemaLocation. (You have two; you need three. Think protocol://host/path where protocol is ‘file’ and host is empty here, yielding three slashes in a row.) You can also eliminate the double slashes along the path. I believe that the double slashes help with file systems that … Read more
You cannot. According to the XML Schema specification, a boolean is true or false. True is not valid: 3.2.2.1 Lexical representation An instance of a datatype that is defined as ·boolean· can have the following legal literals {true, false, 1, 0}. 3.2.2.2 Canonical representation The canonical representation for boolean is the set of literals {true, … Read more
You can use SoapUI: http://www.soapui.org/ This is a generally handy program. Make a new project, connect to the WSDL link, then right click on the project and say “Show interface viewer”. Under “Schemas” on the left you can see the XSD. SoapUI can do many things though!
