XSD Validation in Eclipse: “No grammar constraints

问题:

I created a new project in Eclipse just to validate a xml thanks to the corresponding xsd. I wrote both the xsds and the xml files.

The main XSD is like:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
  xmlns="http://www.myurl.com/schemas" 
  targetNamespace="http://www.myurl.com/schemas" 
  version="1.0">
<xs:include schemaLocation="other_xsd.xsd"/>
[...]

The other_xsd.xsd is in the same directory and is like:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
  xmlns="http://www.myurl.com/schemas" 
  targetNamespace="http://www.myurl.com/schemas">

It mostly contains complexTypes used in the main xsd

The xml example file also is in the same directory and is like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<myTag xmlns="http://www.myurl.com/schemas" myAttributes="2011-09-07">

All those three files have been loaded within the same directory in my Eclipse project. Yet I keep having this warning:

No grammar constraints (DTD or XML schema) detected for the document. example.xml XMLValidation/Test line 1 XML Problem

What is missing in my xml or in my xsd so that I can validate my xml file?

回答1:

Under Preferences -> XML -> XML Catalog, add a user specified entry. Put the schema path/filename in the Location field (using the Workspace or File System buttons if desired). At that point the Key field should be populated with your namespace. Click OK a couple times to exit out, then right-click your xml file and click Validate. Eclipse should match your "xmlns" attribute with the "Key", and use the appropriate schema.

You need to tell eclipse xml processor where to find the schema. Either edit Preferences->XML->XML Catalog so that your namespace is mapped to the schema resource, or just include a schemaLocation in your instance document. Assuming your main schema is main.xsd:

<myTag xmlns="http://www.myurl.com/schemas" 
       myAttributes="2011-09-07"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.myurl.com/schemas main.xsd" >
