Re: XML Schema validation error

Hi Martin

Thanks for your response. I am validating this xml to this schema using a
validating XML reader in dotnet code. I guess my problem id lack of
experience here, But I cannot change the xml as this is output from a program
I don't control, so I need to fix the schema so that it validates. From you r
response I need to add a schema definition for the datasets element?

I appreciate your help,

Andy

I am fairly new at XML validation and am having real trouble figuring out
why I can’t validate the following. I have a schema file that I get from
adobe describing their ‘xdp’ xml format. I then validate an xdp file
generated by an adobe reader product. I try to validate this file against the
schema but I get a validation error. Does anyone have an idea why I am
getting this? I have spent a considerable amount of time on this and am
getting nowhere.

The error I am getting is.....

"The 'http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/:xdp' element is not declared. "

How exactly are you trying to validate? With Visual Studio? With .NET code?

Here is the schema…

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xs:schema id="xdpCollection" targetNamespace="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/";
xmlns:mstns="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/"; xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/";

attributeFormDefault="qualified" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:element name="xdp" msdata:Prefix="xdp";>
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>

</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="uuid" form="unqualified" type="xs:string" />
<xs:attribute name="timeStamp" form="unqualified" type="xs:string" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="xdpCollection" msdata:IsDataSet="true";
msdata:UseCurrentLocale="true"; msdata:Prefix="xdp";>
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element ref="xdp" />
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>


Here is my xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<?xfa generator="XFA2_4" APIVersion="2.8.8118.0"?>
<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/";
timeStamp="2009-01-27T19:15:06Z" uuid="3ff953dd-58c6-4fc2-8359-21e051961b01">
<xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/";>

When I pull both of your files in Visual Studio 2008 then it complains

The element 'xdp' in namespace 'http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/' has invalid
child element 'datasets' in namespace
'http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/'. List of possible elements
expected: 'config, connectionSet, datasets, localeSet, pdf, sourceSet,
style***, template, xdc, xfdf, xmpmeta'.

and that is correct, you have only one schema, it defines an element
named 'xdp' in the namespace 'http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/' and allows
elements named 'config', 'connectionSet', 'datasets' in no namespace
while your XML above has an element named 'datasets' in the namespace
'http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/'.

So your XML instance is not valid against the schema you have.
