Hi, I've hit a problem that I am hoping some-one can shed some light on for me. I have the following schema:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://example.com/Notation" targetNamespace="http://example.com/Notation">
    <xs:notation name="gif" public="image/gif" system="view.exe"/>
    <xs:notation name="jpeg" public="image/jpeg" system="view.exe"/>
    <xs:element name="image">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:attribute name="type">
                <xs:simpleType>
                    <xs:restriction base="xs:NOTATION">
                        <xs:enumeration value="gif"/>
                        <xs:enumeration value="jpeg"/>
                    </xs:restriction>
                </xs:simpleType>
            </xs:attribute>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

I can generate the EMF classes OK, and can construct and populate in code:

ImageType createImageType = NotationFactory.eINSTANCE.createImageType();
QName name = new QName("gif");
createImageType.setType(name);

This can be saved and loaded as much as I like, giving XML as follows:

<notation:image xmlns:notation="http://example.com/Notation" type="gif"/>

However as soon as I try and validate it

Diagnostician.INSTANCE.validate(createImageType);

It will give me an error along the following lines:

The feature 'type' of 'com.example.notation.impl.ImageTypeImpl@16546ef{#//@image}' contains a bad value [The value 'gif' must be one of {'gif', 'jpeg'}

However it is of type=gif, so I'm not really sure what is going on

Thanks, Rob

I think it should be

QName name = new QName("http://example.com/Notation", "gif");

Hi Ed,

Thanks again for the super-quick reply. If I make the changes that you suggest and supply the namespace URI it will indeed work.

However if I was just to start with some XML, say:

<notation:image xmlns:notation="http://example.com/Notation" type="gif"/>

As detailed in the following example:

http://www.w3schools.com/Schema/el_notation.asp

Run a load on it to create the EMF representation, and then do a validate, I still get the error.

This would then lead me to a situation where I load in valid XML for the schema, but can then not validate the EMF that is generated.

I would appreciate any further help you can supply on this.

Thanks, Rob

Shouldn't this be type="notation:gif"?

In there they show

<image type="gif"></image>

but they don't show the xmlns declaration that's needed to conform to
the schema. I think it should be

<image xmlns="http://example.com/Notation" type="gif"></image>

and I thin kin that case, the QName value for "gif" is implicitly
qualified with the namespace for Notation as opposed to the explicit
qualification I showed up above.

Not really. Despite assertions about XML being simple, the handling of
namespace qualification seems to be one of those things that few people
understand well...
