If parent XSD imports many other XSD, is it sufficient to only include parent XSD?

[sunfun]

I have a scenario where a XSD (e.g. A.xsd) imports many other (children) XSDs. The child XSDs have different namespace. Source of all the XSDs(parent and many childern) is avialable and under the classpath.

My question: Will it be suffifient to only specifiy the parent XSD and will that in turn will find all the children XSD? Or, do I need to specify all the multiple children also?

The parent and children XSDs all have different namespaces.

If I specify only one (parent) XSD, the code will be similar to:

<bean id="mySchemaCollection" class="org.springframework.xml.xsd.commons.CommonsXsdSchemaCollection">
	<property name="inline" value="true" />
	<property name="xsds">
		<list>
			<value>classpath:/myParent.xsd</value>
		</list>
	</property>
</bean>

An answer to my question is, "try it out yourself". But some insight to how it should be done/standard practice will be helpful.

Mine don't have different namespaces in included XSD's; but, yes, I only specify the top-most XSD file in my schema collection bean definition.

FWIW, HTH. Thanks.
