Resolving XSD includes [message #490669]

Hi.

I'm using v2.2.3 of the Eclipse XSD API. I'm using it standalone to read some XSDs.

In one particular case, I have an XSD that has a number of include elements, including complex type definitions from other schemas. My issue is that my XSDResource does not appear to be able to resolve the included XSDs and so all my element declarations are coming back as XSDSimpleTypeDefinition types.

I'm sure I'm just missing a step in the code to enable this. Here's what I have:

Resource resource = new XSDResourceFactoryImpl().createResource(schemaURI);
XSDSchema schema;

resource.load(Collections.EMPTY_MAP);
schema = (XSDSchema) resource.getContents().get(0);

schema.validate();

List<XSDDiagnostic> diagnostics = schema.getAllDiagnostics();
if (!diagnostics.isEmpty()) {
    throw new SchemaException(diagnostics);
}

....

I'm fairly sure it's not a relative paths issue because I'm passing a fully qualified path as the URI. Also, my IDE is able to navigate between the XSDs just fine. So as I say... I'm guessing that I'm just missing a step in the code, or simply making an invalid assumption re the external schemas being resolved automatically.

Any help would be appreciated.

That's a lot of years ago...

Yep, that's looking bad. Unless you load into a resource set, other
resources can't be loaded.

Have a look at XSDMainExample. In particular, you need to use a
ResourceSet to load the initial resources so that included resources can
be demand loaded into it.

That's a lot of years ago...

It was the latest version I found in the public maven repo, so I just used that Smile

Ahhh OK Ed... thanks!!! I'll give that a go.

I sort-of worked around it by manually and recursively loading the types from the schemas referenced by the import and include elements (in the XSDSchema contents). Would obviously be nicer to use the proper mechanisms, so thanks for that Ed!!
