Merging Multiple xsd into Single File

[cosmarchy]

Hi,

I'm trying to merge two schemas into a single file. I have the following code, which I have taken as a basis to get started:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">

  <xs:resourcedata type="acquisition">

    <xs:details>

      <xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

        <xs:element name="resource">

          <xs:complexType>

            <xs:sequence>

              <xs:element type="xs:long" name="identifier"/>

              <xs:element type="xs:string" name="requestedby"/>

              <xs:element type="xs:string" name="product"/>

            </xs:sequence>

          </xs:complexType>

        </xs:element>

      </xs:schema>

    </xs:details>

  </xs:resourcedata>

  <xs:resourcedata type="warningletter">

    <xs:details>

      <xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

        <xs:element name="resource">

          <xs:complexType>

            <xs:sequence>

              <xs:element type="xs:long" name="identifier"/>

              <xs:element type="xs:string" name="email"/>

            </xs:sequence>

          </xs:complexType>

        </xs:element>

      </xs:schema>

    </xs:details>

  </xs:resourcedata>

</xs:schema>

However I get the following error message in <oXygen/> XML editor:

Engine name: Xerces
Severity: error
Description: s4s-elt-invalid-content.1: The content of 'schema' is invalid. Element 'resourcedata' is invalid, misplaced, or occurs too often.

I can see resourcedata appears too often but I'm not sure how I correct this to allow multiple schemas in a single file.

Thanks

Hi,

The XML Schema vocabulary specification:

https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/

defines a set of schema element names. You are using tags like xs:resourcedata or xs:details which are not part of the XML Schema specification.
Maybe you should try to google and read an XML Schema tutorial, just to understand what a schema is and how multiple schemas can be combined.
