XML Schema Wont Work in Codeplot

[Chase Preuninger]

Here is my schema...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<schema>
<element name="name">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="first" type="string"/>
<element name="middle" type="string"/>
<element name="last" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
</schema>


Here is my XML document...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<name xsi:schemaLocat ion="TestSchema .xml">
<first>Chase</first>
<middle>T</middle>
<last>Preuninge r</last>
</name>

Here is the parser output...

[Error] Document is invalid: no grammar found. Line 2, Column 6
[Error] Document root element "name", must match DOCTYPE root "null".
Line 2, Column 6

If you want to use the W3C XML schema language then you need to declare
a namespace e.g.
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
and make sure the other elements are in that namespace too, as the type
like xs:string have to be.

<element name="name">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="first" type="string"/>
<element name="middle" type="string"/>
<element name="last" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
</schema>

<name xsi:schemaLocat ion="TestSchema .xml">

Your schema does not have a targetNamespace therefore you do not need
xsi:schemaLocat ion but rather xsi:noNamespace SchemaLocation e.g.
<name
xmlns:xsi="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespace SchemaLocation= "TestSchema.xml ">

Is there any way I could avoid using name spaces all tougher?

No, if you don't put the XML Schema attributes and elements into the
right namespace, applications cannot recognize them as XML Schema.

Use a DTD instead.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE name [
<!ELEMENT name (first,middle?, last)>
<!ELEMENT first (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT middle (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT last (#PCDATA)>
]>
<name>
<first>Chase</first>
<middle>T</middle>
<last>Preuninge r</last>
</name>

But if you want complex validation, you need to use a Schema.

You can use the W3C XML schema language to define elements and
attributes in no namespace, simply by not having a targetNamespace as
you did. But for the schema elements itself you need to apply the
namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema, otherwise your "schema" is
not recognized as one. And if you want to use the schema instance
attributes like schemaLocation or noNamespaceSche maLocation, then you
need to declare the namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
as well, otherwise they are not recognized as well.
