Re: [eclipselink-dev] Naming conventions for EclipseLink schemas ...

Hi Mike,

  Can we ensure the package renamer deals with these changes?

As part of the work for bugs 236064 <https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=236064> and 236711 <https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=236711>, I have been trying to figure out a
simple and consistent naming convention for EclipseLink's schemas.

- rename the EclipseLink native deployment XML schema to eclipselink_persistence_map_1.0.xsd - rename the EclipseLink sessions XML schema to eclipselink_sessions_1.0.xsd
 - remove mention of Oracle in the namespace for native deployment XML:
Index: NamespaceResolvableProject.java

In (the renamed) eclipselink_persistence_map_1.0.xsd file, the namespace is declared as <!-- Eclipse Persistence Service Project :: Map Schema file for ORM/OXM/EIS -->
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://xmlns.eclipse.org/xsds/eclipselink";
^^^^^^ I discussed this with Blaise - it is common practice to make your namespace URI match up to an actual URL so that people can download your schemas. The website "http://xmlns.eclipse.org"; doesn't exist, nor do I think the Eclipse Foundation would want us to 'take over' something like that all by ourselves.

PeterK mentioned that we have complete control of everything under "http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink";,
so how about:

native deployment XML schema namespace : "http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/xsds/persistence"; new EclipseLink ORM XML schema namespace : "http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/xsds/persistence/orm";

The schema document itself has version information in the name eclipselink_persistence_map_1.0.xsd, eclipselink_orm_1_0.xsd, etc) so I don't think we need a version number in the namespace URI.

Comments?
_*Note 1*_: the changes are not backwards compatible so once they are 'set' for the 1.0 Release, we will have to live with
them for a long time!

_*Note 2*:_ once these changes get checked in, old 'legacy' files will no longer work since by default schema validation is turned on. I can scan the SVN repository for any and all files, but it is unlikely that every place will be found on the
first pass - failures will point the way to where things were missed.
