Validation fails with targetNamespace == default namespace? 2003-08-04 - By Brian Atkins
Help me understand what I am doing wrong. Here's a small example
of two document which, as far as I can tell, conform to the
given schema. One (good.xml) uses a default namespace (no prefix), while
the other (bad.xml) uses an explicit namespace (prefix='ex').
example.xsd
===========
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace='http://www.someone.com/example'
xmlns='http://www.someone.com/example'
xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-Instance'
xml:lang="en">
<xsd:element name="Root">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="AnElement" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
good.xml - target namespace with prefix 'ex'
============================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ex:Root xmlns:ex="http://www.someone.com/example"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.someone.com/example example.xsd">
<AnElement/>
</ex:Root>
bad.xml - target namespace as default namespace
===============================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root xmlns="http://www.someone.com/example"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.someone.com/example example.xsd">
<AnElement/>
</Root>
Running both document and schema using SAX with schema and validation
turned on, I get no errors on "good.xml", but get the following on
"bad.xml":
cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content starting with element 'AnElement'.
One of '{"":AnElement}' is expected.
Any help would be most welcome.
Thanks
Brian Atkins
