Hi!

I just started using WTP (I am currently on 3.0 M7) and I managed to
provide my own XML schemes (i.e. namespace names) to the XML catalog
within the preferences via the
org.eclipse.wst.xml.core.catalogContributions extension point. However,
this does not suffice the requirements I have to cover within my
application. Two questions:

1. Is there any way to (maybe programmatically) provide different schemes
or different versions of the same schemes per project? If so, do I need
any specific nature or other properties for such projects?

2. Is there any chance to tell the XML editor to still look for XML schema
definitions in the provided entries within the XML catalog, if e.g. a
"xsi:schemaLocation" schema location reference in the XML file itself
cannot be resolved directly? Right now, there seems to be no fallback
mechanism in place...

Thanks a lot in advance for any hints,

Walter

You will need to create a custom URIResolver or a Content-Type Describer
that handles the loading of the particular schema that you need loaded
at runtime. One such example is in the XSL Tooling incubator project
in the org.eclipse.wst.xsl.core plugin project.

I think your best bet is to go with a Custom Resolver.

Works like a charm, thanks!

Do you know by chance, how stable one could expect these extension points
and interfaces, i.e., when will they become official and public?

Thanks again,

Walter
