XML / XSL

8-Jul-03 8:46

I am attempting to create a generic xml schema file that defines element type restrictions. That file is then imported into my additional xml schemas, which make use of the defined types. Here is what I have.
General Formatting File

<br />
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><br />
<xs:schema id="GeneralFormatting" <br />
targetNamespace="http://localhost/XMLWebServices/GeneralFormatting.xsd"<br />
elementFormDefault="qualified"<br />
xmlns:gns="http://localhost/XMLWebServices/GeneralFormatting.xsd"<br />
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><br />
<br />
  <!-- Define format restriction -->  <br />
  <xs:simpleType name="UserName"><br />
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string"><br />
      <xs:pattern value="([a-zA-Z0-9])*"></xs:pattern><br />
      <xs:whiteSpace value="preserve" /><br />
    </xs:restriction><br />
  </xs:simpleType><br />
</xs:schema><br />

XML Schema

<br />
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><br />
<xs:schema id="WTNManagement_XSD" <br />
  targetNamespace="http://localhost/XMLWebServices/Management.xsd" <br />
  elementFormDefault="qualified" <br />
  xmlns:tns="http://localhost/XMLWebServices/Management.xsd"<br />
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><br />
<br />
<xs:import <br />
  namespace="http://localhost/XMLWebServices/GeneralFormatting.xsd" <br />
  schemaLocation="http://localhost/XMLWebServices/GeneralFormatting.xsd" /><br />
<br />
  <!-- definition of elements --><br />
  <xs:element name="Management" id="Management"><br />
    <xs:complexType><br />
      <xs:sequence><br />
        <!-- File Sequence number, must be unique --><br />
        <xs:element name="SeqNum" type="xs:integer" /><br />
        <!-- User making request --><br />
        <xs:element name="UserName" type="xs:UserName" /><br />
      </xs:sequence><br />
    </xs:complexType><br />
  </xs:element><br />
</xs:schema><br />

This code isn't working could someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks

You shouldn't be using the xs: prefix for the UserName type in the second schema, as the xs is for the schema namespace. You probably should define another xmlns for the imported namespace ie xmlns:gf="http:....GeneralFormatting.xsd"
and then have <xs:element name="UserName" type="gf:UserName">

Something like this?
Generic Formatting XML Schema

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><br />
<xs:schema id="GeneralFormatting" <br />
targetNamespace="http://localhost/XMLWebServices/GeneralFormatting.xsd"<br />
elementFormDefault="qualified"<br />
xmlns:ns="http://localhost/XMLWebServices/GeneralFormatting.xsd"<br />
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><br />
<br />
  <!-- Define format restriction -->  <br />
  <xs:simpleType name="UserName"><br />
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string"><br />
      <xs:pattern value="([a-zA-Z0-9])*"></xs:pattern><br />
      <xs:whiteSpace value="preserve" /><br />
    </xs:restriction><br />
  </xs:simpleType><br />
</xs:schema><br />

Additional XML Schema

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><br />
<xs:schema id="WTNManagement_XSD" <br />
  targetNamespace="http://localhost/XMLWebServices/Management.xsd" <br />
  elementFormDefault="qualified" <br />
  xmlns:tns="http://localhost/XMLWebServices/Management.xsd"<br />
  xmlns:gns="http://localhost/XMLWebServices/GeneralFormatting.xsd"  <br />
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><br />
<br />
<xs:import <br />
  schemaLocation="http://localhost/XMLWebServices/GeneralFormatting.xsd" /><br />
<br />
  <!-- definition of elements --><br />
  <xs:element name="Management" id="Management"><br />
    <xs:complexType><br />
      <xs:sequence><br />
        <!-- File Sequence number, must be unique --><br />
        <xs:element name="SeqNum" type="xs:integer" /><br />
        <!-- User making request --><br />
        <xs:element name="UserName" type="gns:UserName" /><br />
      </xs:sequence><br />
    </xs:complexType><br />
  </xs:element><br />
</xs:schema>

In your first schema you should change the xmlns:gns="http://localhost/XMLWebServices/GeneralFormatting.xsd" to xmlns="http://localhost/XMLWebServices/GeneralFormatting.xsd" so that all types declared are in that namespace, otherwise you would have to put the gns prefix on all type names...

I would hope anyone can help me understand a certain problem I am currently having with a small piece of code. I would be very grateful if anyone could give me some ideas on how I could structure my XSL template to produce an output similar to the following table given the attached Test.xml source. I seem to be using for-each and the priority attribute but cant pinpoint where to place it correctly.

View the Test.xml source at :
http://www.angelfire.com/pro/atbgmxsl/Test.xml

Required result in table format is :
ASXCode Company Name Company Statistics/Interim Dates Annual Balance Sheet/Cash

RWS Rothbury Wines Limited -- 99,000

OCO Oriel Communications Limited 12/2002 97,065

Just a quick shot at it

<xsl:for-each select="Column">

</xsl:for-each>

</xsl:for-each>

Web Service Problem...

Re: Web Service Problem...

I’m creating my first web service and running into the following error.

A first chance exception of type 'System.Net.WebException' occurred in system.dll
Additional information: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

The error occurs in the Reference.vb file when I try to retrieve a string value from a function in the asmx file. Here is some of the code from the Reference.vb file.

<br />
<System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("http://localhost/XMLWebServices/ReturnValue", RequestNamespace:="http://localhost/XMLWebServices ", ResponseNamespace:="http://localhost/ XMLWebServices ", Use:=System.Web.Services.Description.SoapBindingUse.Literal, ParameterStyle:=System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapParameterStyle.Wrapped)> _<br />
        Public Function ReturnValue() As String<br />
            Dim results() As Object = Me.Invoke("ReturnValue", New Object(-1) {})<br />
            Return CType(results(0), String)<br />
        End Function<br />

The web method in the asmx file looks like the following.

<WebMethod()> Public Function ReturnValue() As String<br />
ReturnValue = "Value"<br />
     End Function<br />

All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The first problem is you are using VB.NET Poke tongue | ;-P

You still haven't said what the user is searching. Nodes, attributes, text???

Do some research on XPath.
