Hello Gary,
When relying on the namespace instead of an explicit schema
association (xsi:schemaLocation), Oxygen only associates one schema
for the root element namespace of the XML instance. Any other
namespaces from the XML instance are ignored.
Why do you consider using xsi:schemaLocation is a problem?
As long as you have an XML catalog that resolves the schema
location, it doesn't really matter what location is being used.
Instead of using a canonical location, you could use the actual
namespace as the schema location in xsi:schemaLocation and it would
work in Oxygen.
e.g.
<oval_definitions
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5
http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5
http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5#independent
http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5#independent" ...
The alternative is to modify the main XML schema (or create another
main XML schema) to import all namespaces that are used in the XML
instance.

Adrian

I am attempting (perhaps wrongly) to have OVAL document
validation to occur based on namespace (without using xsi:schemaLocation).
I suspect my problem is related to the rather complex OVAL
schemata relationships, but I have not determined how best (if at
all) to accomplish this.
I have a sample
document and a related XML
catalog. The XML catalog has been configured in the project
preferences.
When I attempt to validate the document, it appears that the
schema in namespace http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5#independent
has not been associated. The primary (root) schema is associated
and is obtained from the catalog.
If this sort of implicit association is not possible, any
suggestions on how to knit together the many discrete
(sub-)schemata of OVAL would be much appreciated. I would prefer
to avoid the use of xsi:schemaLocation if at all
possible (since a "canonical" location for such is not assured).

Gary
