How to declare element

Question

I'm looking for validate an XML document with xrm prefix as you can read here :

I wrote the following XML Schema :

     </xsd:extension>

  </xsd:complexContent>

</xsd:complexType>


</xsd:schema>

However, when I check my XML document, I get the following error:

'xrm:plugin' is not a valid value for 'NCName'

I understand I can't put xrm: in my name, but how can I validate my xrm:plugin and xrm:header ? Because, if I try to validate my XML document, I get this error:

Cannot find the declaration of element 'xrm:plugin'.

Answer 1

xrm is a namespace prefix, an abbreviation for the namespace. As the syntax error indicates, a namespace prefix is not declared via xsd:element/@name. Instead, declare only the local name (plugin) and handle the namespace prefix declaration at the XSD level...

Here is a simplified set of your XML and XSD where the XML validates successfully against the XSD:

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xrm:plugin xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.moss.fr/2011/connecteur_xrm result.xsd"
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
            xmlns:xrm="http://www.moss.fr/2011/connecteur_xrm">

</xrm:plugin>
