Hi all,

I'm having serious trouble in creating an XSD in code. Here's what I think the output should be:

(File to create)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/case"
xmlns:import="http://www.example.com/import"
elementFormDefault="qualified" >
<xsd:import schemaLocation="import.xsd" namespace="http://www.example.com/import" />
<xsd:complexType name="A__Type">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="amount" type="import:currency" />
<xsd:element name="file" type="B__Type" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:element name="B_Type"> ..... </xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>


The import.xsd is an xsd with some default/standard types that may be used/referenced in the xsd above. It's not created programmatically and it already exists when creating the xsd above. It contains among others a currency type definion, as in

(File to import)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/import"
elementFormDefault="qualified">

<xsd:complexType name="currency">
<xsd:simpleContent>
....
<xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:schema>



The code I use to create the blank XSDSchema is

XSDFactory xsdFactory = XSDFactory.eINSTANCE;
XSDSchema blankSchema = XSDSchemaBuildingTools.getBlankSchema(xsdFactory, null, null, null, null);
blankSchema.getSchemaForSchema().setTargetNamespace("http://www.example.com/case");

XSDImport xsdImport = xsdFactory.createXSDImport();
xsdImport.setSchemaLocation("import.xsd");
xsdImport.setNamespace("http://www.example.com/import");
blankSchema.getContents().add(xsdImport);

return blankSchema;


I'm sure I'm missing a lot, but I've looked through a lot of posts and I'm getting nowhere. It should be possible to create an XSD from scratch, but while trying I got some Q1 and Q2 prefixes,
but I didn't find a way to name these prefixes myself...

Am I missing something? I'm using XSD 2.4.0.

Any ideas are more than welcome Smile

This can't be good. The schema for schemas shouldn't ever be modified.
I'm sure all hell will break loose. I assume you're trying to set the
target namespace of blankSchema itself.

Have a look at XSDPrototypicalSchema; it's got examples for how to
create pretty much anything.
