I do not observe this behavior. (However, it is quite possible that I
have made an error.)
Given the following schemas, CommonTypesSchema.xsd and
PersonalInfoSchema.xsd (which imports CommonTypesSchema.xsd via
an <import> tag):
CommonTypesSchema.xsd
---------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> <xs:complexType name="addressType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="line1" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="line2" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="city" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="state" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="zip" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="nameType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="first" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="middle" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="last" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="contactInfoType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="phone" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="email" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="fax" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="website" type="xs:anyURI"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
PersonalInfoSchema.xsd:
-----------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:import schemaLocation="CommonTypesSchema.xsd"/>
<xs:element name="personalInfo" type="personalInfoType"/>
<xs:complexType name="personalInfoType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="nameType"/>
<xs:element name="address" type="addressType"/>
<xs:element name="contactInfo" type="contactInfoType"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
Note that neither schema specifies a 'targetNamepsace' attribute,
or a default namespace. Also note that the <import> tag does not
specify the 'namespace' attribute.
I have validated both schemas using XMLSpy, but when I use xjc
to compile PersonalInfoSchema.xsd I receive the following
compilation error:
C:\>%JAXB_HOME%/bin/xjc PersonalInfoSchema.xsd -p personalinfo
parsing a schema...
[ERROR] src-import.1.1: The namespace attribute 'null' of an <import> element information item must not be the same as the targetNamespace of the schema it exists in.
line 9 of PersonalInfoSchema.xsd
It appears that the 'namespace' attribute of the import tag
cannot be the same as the targetNamespace it exists in. I
thought perhaps, the compiler did not like the fact that the
'namespace' attribute was null, so I revised the <schema>
elements of both schemas as follows:
CommonTypesSchema.xsd:
----------------------
<xs:schema targetNamespace="
http://www.corsof.com/" xmlns="
http://www.corsof.com/" xmlns:xs="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
PersonalInfoSchema.xsd:
-----------------------
<xs:schema targetNamespace="
http://www.corsof.com/" xmlns="
http://www.corsof.com/" xmlns:xs="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
I then validated both schemas again using XMLSpy, and
recompiled only to receive the same error. I then
changed the <import> tag within the PersonalInfoSchema to
specify the namespace of CommonTypesSchema as follows:
<xs:import namespace="
http://www.corsof.com/" schemaLocation="CommonTypesSchema.xsd"/>
I then validated both schemas again using XMLSpy, and
recompiled only to receive a new error:
[ERROR] src-import.1.1: The namespace attribute '
http://www.corsof.com/' of an <import> element information item must not be the same as the targetNamespace of the schema it exists in.
line 9 of PersonalInfoSchema.xsd
However, according to your initial statement, everything
with the same target namespace will go into the same Java
package. What am I doing incorrectly?
