Is it possible to validate XML with xinclude using WTP? [message #162518]

Hello,

I am using wtp plug-in for editing and validating schemas and XML files.

We have a need to create a master XML document using xinclude and validate
this against a schema. Validation works very well when I try to create the
XML file with no xinclude elements. However with xinclude, it fails with
an error cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with
element 'xi:include'. One of '{"":bar}' is expected.

This document validates fine with xerces. I am wondering if I am seeing
this because wtp does not support validation for documents with xinclude
or I am missing some configuration.

I see this with both WTP versions 0.7 and 1.0.1.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks,
Nalini

Samples used for testing xinclude in WTP:
-----------------------------------------

Schema foo.xsd:
---------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<xsd:element name="foo">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="bar" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

</xsd:schema>

foo.xml (without xinclude, validates fine)
------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<foo xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="foo.xsd">
<bar>bar</bar>
</foo>

foo.xml (with xinclude):
------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<foo xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="foo.xsd">
<xi:include href="bar.xml"/>
</foo>

bar.xml
-------
<bar>bar</bar>

Currently WTP does not support validation of documents with XInclude. You
may be interested to know that WTP uses Xerces for XML validation. Xerces
DOES support XInclude (see the feature docs [1]). So it's literally just
a line or two of code required to switch that feature on in WTP. Of
course we'd need to test to make sure that change didn't break anything.

Feel free to open a bug to request this enhancement. If you're willing to
sign up to do some testing I'll be happy to make the code change.
