Hi,
Sorry about that. I did press send by mistake. Here's the complete thing...
I have a problem with external binding declarations. I have 4 schema files:
A.xsd
B.xsd
C.xsd
ABC.xsd
ABC.xsd uses <xs:include>s to include A.xsd and B.xsd, and <xs:redefine>s
attributeGroups in C.xsd with attributeGroups in A.xsd and B.xsd.
<xs:include schemaLocation="A.xsd" />
<xs:include schemaLocation="B.xsd" />
<xs:redefine schemaLocation="C.xsd">
<xs:attributeGroup name="C.attrib">
<xs:attributeGroup ref="C.attrib"/>
<xs:attributeGroup ref="A.attrib"/>
</xs:attributeGroup>
<xs:attributeGroup name="C.attrib">
<xs:attributeGroup ref="C.attrib"/>
<xs:attributeGroup ref="B.attrib"/>
</xs:attributeGroup>
</xs:redefine>
Now, If I compile schema="ABC.xsd" (using the XJC Ant task) without any
customization, everything seems fine. However, I would like to make "class" and
"property" binding customizations to the schemas A, B, and C. Using external
customization bindings, I would have to use XPath to reference the target
nodes.
According to Kohsuke Kawaguchi in a reply to a question regarding
"Customization and XPath Expressions," XPath works on XML documents as infoset,
it doesn't understand the concept of <xs:include>s. Additionally, the binding
declaration should reference the correct schema, e.g.,
<bindings schemaLocation="A.xsd">
</bindings>
<bindings schemaLocation="B.xsd">
</bindings>
<bindings schemaLocation="C.xsd">
</bindings>
My problem:
If I compile using schema="ABC.xsd" with the external binding customizations
applied to schemaLocation="ABC.xsd", I get "empty node set" errors, as
correctly pointed out by Kohsuke Kawaguchi. However, if I then specify separate
binding declarations for each schema as in the example above, and compile using
schema="ABC.xsd", I get errors saying something like "A.xsd is not in the list
of schemas to compile", etc. Should I then replace the schema="ABC.xsd" with
schema="A.xsd,B.xsd,C.xsd"? Will this generate the bindings correctly?
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Terence
