Error when trying to generate schema using XJC - jaxb

So I parsed a bunch of XMLs to generate a giant schema file using trang which went fine. However, when I try to generate sources using xjc, I get the following error,
xjc reutersXMLSchema.xsd
parsing a schema...
[ERROR] no-xsi: The {target namespace} of an attribute declaration must not match 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'.
line 11 of file:/Users/cqin/Downloads/trang-20081028/xsi.xsd

The schema looks like the following,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Any idea why it won't work?
I've tried changing the targetNameSpace to something unique but I get more errors so I'm wondering if there is something I can do with the original error.
Thanks!

Yes, this isn't right:
targetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
This is saying that the target namespace of your schema is actually the namespace of the Schema definition schema itself (i.e. the schema which defines the things like <xs:schema> and <xs:import> actually mean). This schema is fixed, you can't write your own schema targeting it, which is why XJC is rejecting it.
I've tried changing the targetNameSpace to something unique but I get more errors
Keep trying that, you'll get further than with what you have now. However, the fact that trang is generating this bad schema at all is suggestive that you've done something wrong further back along the line. Perhaps you asked it to generate a combined schema which included the http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance schema itself, which is almost certainly not what you want to do.

Using XJC to compile a XSD with mutiple schema

I have a XSD of the format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<root>
<xs:schema --->
..
..
</xs:schema>
<xs:schema -->
..
..
</xs:schema -->
<xs:schema -->
..
..
</xs:schema -->
</root>
It gives an error when compiled using XJC compiler at line 1 "Content is not allowed in prolog".
If I change the encoding to , "ISO-8859-1"
it gives followwing error:
[ERROR] Unexpected <root> appears at line 2 column 10
line 2 of ****.xsd Failed to parse a schema.
If I remove the "root" tag, from the XSD, it starts giving the following error:
[ERROR] The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.
line 44 of file:****.xsd
Failed to parse a schema.
My question is whether we can use XJC to compile a XSD with more than 1 schema tag. I had tried this with following file format :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="shiporder">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="abc" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="cdf">
/xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="orderid" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
it worked perfectly well for the above , creating classes appropriately.
Does it has something to do with the namespace declaration?
In principle, the XSD spec allows multiple xs:schema elements to be included in the same XML document, so what you are trying to do is not unreasonable. In practice, a lot of XSD software (perhaps most XSD software) is not prepared for schema documents in which the xs:schema element is not the outermost element in the XML document, and even when software does support other cases, different programs don't always agree on how to behave.
See this Stack Overflow question for further discussion, including a passionate argument from a misinformed party that there is no XSD software at all that supports input of the kind you describe.
With XJC, your best option appears to be to put each xs:schema element in a separate XML document and use (a) a single driver file to import or include each of them in turn, or (b) to put them all in the same directory and hand XJC the name of the directory; it will scan the directory for schema files and compile them. You may also be able to do something with the -wsdl option.

cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'MyElement'

I'm trying to validate a really simple xml using xsd, but for some reason I get this error.
I'll really appreciate if someone can explain me why.
XML File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<MyElement>A</MyElement>
XSD File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/Test"
xmlns:tns="http://www.example.org/Test"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<simpleType name="MyType">
<restriction base="string"></restriction>
</simpleType>
<element name="MyElement" type="tns:MyType"></element>
</schema>
Your schema is for its target namespace http://www.example.org/Test so it defines an element with name MyElement in that target namespace http://www.example.org/Test. Your instance document however has an element with name MyElement in no namespace. That is why the validating parser tells you it can't find a declaration for that element, you haven't provided a schema for elements in no namespace.
You either need to change the schema to not use a target namespace at all or you need to change the instance to use e.g. <MyElement xmlns="http://www.example.org/Test">A</MyElement>.
After making the change suggested above by Martin, I was still getting the same error. I had to make an additional change to my parsing code. I was parsing the XML file via a DocumentBuilder as shown in the oracle docs:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/xml/validation/package-summary.html
// parse an XML document into a DOM tree
DocumentBuilder parser = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = parser.parse(new File("example.xml"));
The problem was that DocumentBuilder is not namespace aware by default. The following additional change resolved the issue:
// parse an XML document into a DOM tree
DocumentBuilderFactory dmfactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dmfactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
DocumentBuilder parser = dmfactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = parser.parse(new File("example.xml"));
I had this error for my XXX element and it was because my XSD was wrongly formatted according to javax.xml.bind v2.2.11 . I think it's using an older XSD format but I didn't bother to confirm.
My initial wrong XSD was alike the following:
<xs:element name="Document" type="Document"/>
...
<xs:complexType name="Document">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="XXX" type="XXX_TYPE"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
The good XSD format for my migration to succeed was the following:
<xs:element name="Document">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="XXX"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
...
<xs:element name="XXX" type="XXX_TYPE"/>
And so on for every similar XSD nodes.
I got this same error working in Eclipse with Maven with the additional information
schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document 'https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>.
This was after copying in a new controller and it's interface from a Thymeleaf example. Honestly, no matter how careful I am I still am at a loss to understand how one is expected to figure this out. On a (lucky) guess I right clicked the project, clicked Maven and Update Project which cleared up the issue.
To expand upon the top answer. If you're using Java Web Services (JAX-WS) annotations to define your services, like in this example:
#WebService(..., targetNamespace = "http://bar.foo.com/")
Then make sure that your SOAP request has exactly the same namespace as defined in your annotation:
<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:foo="http://bar.foo.com/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<foo:someRequest>
...
</foo:someRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
The targetNamespace in your annotation and the xmlns:foo property in the XML request must match! Literally every character (including whitespace) must match. Also don't forget to put the / at the end as well (it's a very common mistake).

Can JAXB handle multiple "root" elements?

I have a schema similar to the following...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="t1" type="t1Type"/>
<xs:element name="t2" type="t2Type"/>
<xs:element name="t3" type="t3Type"/>
</xs:schema>
At first I thought this was an invalid schema but all the checks I do online validate it. This means the person supplying the XML can send any (or all) the types listed and still conform to the schema.
How do I go about mapping and unmarshalling all the different possibilities using JAXB?
I have no idea which of them I will be recieving.
You will need to leverage a factory class annotated with #XmlRegistry (usually called ObjectFactory). That class will contain a create method for each possible root element annotated with #XmlElementDecl. See this article I wrote for more details and examples.

XML Namespaces and validation

today i've bumped in the following problem. I have the following xml:
<c:docschema xmlns:c="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/desc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/desc http://otr-sufd/xmlschema/docschema.xsd">
...
</c:docschema>
And it's validating fina against it's schema. But I don't want namespace prefixes in my xml, so i try to write it like this:
<docschema xmlns="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/desc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/desc http://otr-sufd/xmlschema/docschema.xsd">
...
</docschema>
And it's giving me a validation error. My XSD schema i'm validating against is compound of two XSD's, here is the headers:
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
elementFormDefault="unqualified"
xmlns="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/desc"
targetNamespace="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/desc"
xmlns:fieldset="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/fieldset"
xmlns:ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore">
<xsd:import namespace="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/fieldset" schemaLocation="fieldset.xsd"/>
and
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
elementFormDefault="unqualified"
targetNamespace="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/fieldset"
xmlns="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/fieldset">
What's wrong there?
EDIT: The question is now, how to change my XSD's in order to make instance document valid?
Given what you write, I imagine that the problem is the following.
Let's consider that there is an a element under your root element.
This first example below is valid because a is unqualified and because you set elementFormDefault to unqualified :
First example
<c:docschema xmlns:c="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/desc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/desc http://otr-sufd/xmlschema/docschema.xsd">
<a>...</a>
</c:docschema>
In the second example the file is not valid because you set elementFormDefault to unqualified and you have an element a that is qualified (in the default namespace) :
Second example
<docschema xmlns="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/desc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/desc http://otr-sufd/xmlschema/docschema.xsd">
<a>...</a>
</docschema>
The correct XML could be :
<docschema xmlns="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/desc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.otr.ru/sufd/document/desc http://otr-sufd/xmlschema/docschema.xsd">
<a xmlns="">...</a>
</docschema>
EDIT
If the children of the root element are defined in the same namespace than the root in your schemas, you just have to change elementFormDefault="unqualified" to elementFormDefault="qualified" to have a schema that validates the XML. If it's not the case : you will surely have to reshape your schema more deeply, in this case, maybe you should post another question dedicated to that with more code (including more part of the schemas and instances).
Looks like you are making the mistake of assuming that the nested elements inside your root <docschema> will inherit the namespace defined on that root. They will not.
If you want to get rid of namespace prefixes you will then have to explicitly declare the namespace at every sub-node in your instance document.
Eg
<Root xmlns="http://www.myns.com">
<MyElement1 xmlns="http://www.myns.com">
... etc
</MyElement1>
</Root>
or
<p:Root xmlns:p="http://www.myns.com">
<p:MyElement1>
... etc
</p:MyElement1>
</p:Root>
Which is nicer? I think the second option.

Using dom4j DOMDocument to feed validator.validate(DOMSource) fails in java 1.6 (xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation is not allowed), works in 1.5

Using dom4j DOMDocument to feed validator.validate(DOMSource) fails in java 1.6 (with xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation is not allowed to appear in root element), works in 1.5
I'm finding the following problem quite intractable (OK, that's an understatement) - any insights will be appreciated. Currently it seems like the best idea is to drop dom4j in favour of e.g. XOM (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/831865/what-java-xml-library-do-you-recommend-to-replace-dom4j).
I've been validating in memory XML created from dom4j 'new DOMDocument()' - but this will not work with Java 6.
The following call to validate(source) of a dom4j (1.6.1) DOMDocument derived DOMSource works with Java 1.5.x but fails with Java 1.6.x:
public void validate() throws Exception {
SchemaFactory schemaFactory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
schemaFactory.setErrorHandler(null);
Schema schemaXSD = schemaFactory.newSchema(new URL(getSchemaURLString()));
Validator validator = schemaXSD.newValidator();
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(getDocument());
validator.validate(source);
}
getSchemaURLString() is also used to add the xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute to the root node, i.e.:
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://localhost:8080/integration/xsd/fqlResponseSchema-2.0.xsd"
The exception follows:
Exception: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation' is not allowed to appear in element 'specialfields'.;

Here's the start of the XML - generated after disabling the call to validator.validate(source):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<meetings xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://localhost:8080/integration/xsd/fqlResponseSchema-2.0.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
.............
</meetings>
And of the XSD:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:element name="meetings">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" ref="summary" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="meeting" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="error" />
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="summary">
................
So my root element is being rejected because it contains a xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute. And the schema itself does not specify that as a valid attribute of my root element?
At this point it seems to me that I need to give up on dom4j for this task and switch to one of the other solutions, for example as outlined here:
But I'd like to know what I've done wrong at any rate!
Thanks in advance.
I had the same issue, and I found the following documentation at
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-javaxmlvalidapi/index.html
Validate against a document-specified schema
Some documents specify the schema they expect to be validated against,
typically using xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation and/or
xsi:schemaLocation attributes like this:
<document xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.example.com/document.xsd">
...
If you create a schema without specifying a URL, file, or source, then
the Java language creates one that looks in the document being
validated to find the schema it should use. For example:
SchemaFactory factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
Schema schema = factory.newSchema();
However, normally this isn't what you want. Usually the document
consumer should choose the schema, not the document producer.
Furthermore, this approach works only for XSD. All other schema
languages require an explicitly specified schema location.
The reason seems to be that non-namespace aware JAXP SAXParser is being created and used (see Link).
And solution for different libs I found at www.edankert.com.
