Re: [xml] libxml2 does xmlSchemaValidateDoc() support xml schema extensions?

Hi Piortr


I still can not validate xml that uses xml schema extensions. I think I figured out what the problem might be, but do not know how to resolve i. I wonder if the problem is with the way I set up my xml namespace?


I am setting up the xml schema namespace the same way eclipse does when you create a new XSD or XML file. I entered http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance in the address bar of my browsers and got quite a surprise!
 <xs:annotation>
  <xs:documentation><p>This schema should never be used as such:
                    <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#no-xsi">the XML
                    Schema Recommendation</a> forbids the declaration of
                    attributes in this namespace</p>

  </xs:documentation>
 </xs:annotation>
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#no-xsi is very confusing.

where does libxml get the schema lang schema/dtd? As a test I put some typos in my xsd file. libxml generated an error when I tried to validate the xsd file as expected?

what URL should I be using?

Do I need to make a special call to cause the libxml to use this other location?

My app will be running on a private network and not have access to www.w3.org, Do I need to copy a dtd or something to my local env?

thanks in advance

Andy

p.s. Bellow is a long email I was going to send before I got the surprise I mentioned above. There is a nice code example of how how to validate. Its much simpler than the other examples I have seen posted in the past

Would you be willing to send my your sample C program? 

I must be missing a function call somewhere?  My XML/XSD files that do not use extensions validate so I think my basic code structure is correct. In your original post you mentioned "xmllint". I did not know about that tool. All of my files validate according to xmllint.I stepped through xmllint to see how it worked. Its very complicated. I must have missed something. Looking at the xmllint source I was able to simplify my code and get rid some some memory leaks.

Here is my simplified code listing based on the xmllint source

   const char *schemaFileNameStr = ...;

    

    xmlSchemaParserCtxtPtr ctxt = xmlSchemaNewParserCtxt(schemaFileNameStr);

    

    xmlSchemaSetParserErrors(ctxt,
                             (xmlSchemaValidityErrorFunc) fprintf,
                             (xmlSchemaValidityWarningFunc) fprintf,
                             stderr);

    

xmlSchemaPtr wxschemas = xmlSchemaParse(ctxt);
if (wxschemas == NULL) {
    NSLog(@"******* ERROR schema %@ failed to compile\n", xmlSchemaFilePath);
    return ret; 
}
xmlSchemaFreeParserCtxt(ctx);

for (all the xml files) {
    xmlSchemaValidCtxtPtr vctxt = xmlSchemaNewValidCtxt(wxschemas);

    

xmlSchemaSetValidErrors(vctxt,
                            (xmlSchemaValidityErrorFunc) fprintf,
                            (xmlSchemaValidityWarningFunc) fprintf,
                            stderr);

    

int error = xmlSchemaValidateDoc(vctxt, doc);
if (error == 0) {
        ret = YES;
} else if (error > 0) {
        ret = NO;
    fprintf(stderr, "%s fails to validate\n", filename);
} else {
        ret = NO; // validation generated an internal error
}

    

xmlSchemaFreeValidCtxt(vctxt);
}
