Base for relative schemaLocations [message #45882]

Hi Ed and others,

I couldn't figure out -- yes, schemaLocations should be absolute -- in
the W3C specs which is the correct base URI when including/import.

./A.xsd
./bbb/B.xsd
./ccc/C.xsd

Be A the root schema including "./bbb/B.xsd" and "./ccc/C.xsd".

What is the correct import statement, if wants to see C?

"../ccc/C.xsd" (assert cwd == ./bbb/)

or

"./ccc/C.xsd"? (assert cwd == .)

(...)

Is XSDResourceImpl.XSD_TRACK_LOCATION related to this topic?

(...)

Or is this bad-style again?

Regards,
Christian

Christian,

From within B.xsd, you should use ../ccc/C.xsd. (The answer will be the
same as if these were .html files with href="..." in them.) The track
location thing is there just to be able to keep track of line and column
numbers for the DOM as it is created.
