XML Catalog and Validation [message #73454]

Hello,

I played with the XML Catalog facility of the latest milestone
release of WTP based on the "XMLExamples" project. I simply
followed the tutorial presented at

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/testtutorials/M2/xml/XMLCata logTutorial.html

I follow the instructions and can use tag completion (typing "<"
and waiting for a list of available tag names). However, I am not
able to validate the document. The DTD example gives a "File not
found: ..." problem and the XSD examples tells me "Cannot find
declaration of element 'c:Catalogue'".

Hello,

I ran through the tutorial specified by the link with M2 and it worked
fine for me. Did you use the export and import functionality? There is a
note in the tutorial which talked about a bug with exporting the catalog.

If you're still having problems, please specify the steps you went through
to
encounter the problem.

thanks.
Richard

Yes, I noticed the note. The problem is as usually sitting in
front of the screen. Another day and refreshed patience seem to
be helpful. However, there is still one thing that strikes me:

I created a catalog entry for the XML schema in the
PublicationCatalogue folder and performed the steps analogous to
the DTD example. Selecting the key type "Namespace Name" worked
well, it is the preset situation.

I use for the alternative key type the following details:

URI XMLExamples/PublicationCatalogue2/Catalogue.xsd
Key Type Schema Location
Key Catalogue.xsd

The value for the "Key" field seems reasonable to me, it
corresponds with the value specified by the xsi:schemaLocation
attribute of the document instance:

<c:Catalogue xmlns:c="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/Catalogue"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/Catalogue Catalogue.xsd">
....
</c:Catalogue>

Thanks,
Franz.

Franz,

We currently have a limitation in our catalog that prevents the use of a
'base name' as a schema location key. Things should work fine if the
schema location is a fully qualified name (e.g.
'http://example.org/myschemas/Catalogue.xsd'). In most cases where keying
by location is useful the location will in fact be some remote URL. In
general if you're designing your XML documents to work with schemas in an
XML Catalog (and you want to key by location) I'd encourage you to use a
fully qualified schema location.

Please open a bugzilla bug for this case. We should either support using
a 'base name' as a key or we should provide error feedback in the UI when
the catalog entry is defined.

I hope that helps clarify. Thanks for your feedback!

Since my last post, I found another cause that actually gave me
reason to post my original message. The project I wanted the XML
catalog to use for contained a space in its name. In order to
reproduce this situation, Once again, it is time to run through
the tutorial. This time, name the example project "XML Examples".
When the tutorial instructs you to validate the XML document, it
will fail.

This behaviour applies at least for the last milestone release
(M3) of the web tools platform.

Franz.
