XML Schema: complexContent/extension

[Arjen Poutsma]

If it does work if you put it a separate file, it's probably a bug in SWS. Could you file one at the JIRA?

Thanks,

[exgorth]

So is it a bug? Is there a solution to get validator working with abstract schema types?

I'm facing the same problem (http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=42668)

Hi Exgorth.

Yes, it's a bug of the Java validator. I thought they will automatically update to a new xerces version which would solve the problem (i hope).

Arjen described a workaroud in my JIRA report and i use it until now...

Cheers,

Ingo

I've set the system property:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <systemProperties>
      <systemProperty>
        <name>javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory</name>
        <value>org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchemaFactory</value>
      </systemProperty>
    </systemProperties>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

and i'm still getting the same errors

XML validation error on request: UndeclaredPrefix: Cannot resolve 'sch:Flight' as a QName: the prefix 'sch' is not declared.
XML validation error on request: cvc-elt.4.1: The value 'sch:Flight' of attribute 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance,type' of element 'sch:details' is not a valid QName.
XML validation error on request: cvc-type.2: The type definition cannot be abstract for element sch:details.
XML validation error on request: UndeclaredPrefix: Cannot resolve 'sch:Flight' as a QName: the prefix 'sch' is not declared.
XML validation error on request: cvc-attribute.3: The value 'sch:Flight' of attribute 'xsi:type' on element 'sch:details' is not valid with respect to its type, 'QName'.

My schema is differs from listed in SWS-35
in attributeFormDefault="unqualified" instead of attributeFormDefault="qualified"

So why the workaround doesn't works for me?

I've set the system property:

I hope you also have a version of the original apache-xerces in your classpath? The property alone isn't enough. As far as i know, if the class of the property isn't fount, then Java falls back to the buggy version.

and deployed the .war to the clean apache-tomcat-6.0.13.

also i've added into the catalina.bat:

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djavax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchemaFactory

to noop

[Arjen Poutsma]

Please read the bug report carefully. The property to set is:

javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory:http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema

Note the semicolon, and the W3C schema reference after it.

So for tomcat, you would do:

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djavax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory:http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchemaFactory

[exgorth]

Thanx, Arjen and res1st.

It's all validates now!!!

for jetty i've set:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <systemProperties>
      <systemProperty>
        <name>javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory</name>
        <value>http\://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchemaFactory</value>
      </systemProperty>
    </systemProperties>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

and for tomcat:

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djavax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory:http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchemaFactory

Again, thanx a lot!

[Arjen Poutsma]

Great!

Note that a slightly better solution for Jetty would be this:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <systemProperties>
      <systemProperty>
       <name>javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory\:http\://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema</name>
        <value>org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchemaFactory</value>
      </systemProperty>
    </systemProperties>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Since the property name is "javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory:http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", after all.
