I am trying to define a simple XML and XSD file using the example of bank accounts.
Here is my XSD defining my XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema
xmlns:bank="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
targetNamespace="http://www.auto-owners.com/accounts"
>
<xs:element name="accounts" >
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="account"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="account" type="account">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="uuid"/>
<xs:element ref="name"/>
<xs:element ref="balance"/>
<xs:element ref="status"/>
<xs:element ref="opened"/>
<xs:element ref="closed"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="uuid" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="balance" type="xs:decimal"/>
<xs:element name="status" type="xs:NCName"/>
<xs:element name="opened" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="closed" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:schema>
And here is my XML file using the XSD file above:
<?xml version="1.1" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bank:accounts
xmlns="http://www.w3schools.com"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.auto-owners.com/Account account.xsd"
xmlns:bank="http://www.auto-owners.com/Account"
>

<bank:account>

</bank:uuid>
<bank:name>Gary Moore</bank:name>
<bank:balance>8764.12</bank:balance>
<bank:status>hold</bank:status>
<bank:opened>01/22/2010</bank:opened>
<bank:closed></bank:closed>
</bank:account>
</bank:accounts>
I have been running around trying to define the namespace to use and every time I try to bind to the bank: namespace I get a revolving set of errors. I am currently on:
Error resolving component 'account'. It was detected that 'account' has no namespace, but components with no target namespace are not referenceable from schema document 'file:///.../account.xsd'.
Any ideas?
