[jira] [Commented] (XMLSCHEMA-35) Multiple-Base URI Resolver

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLSCHEMA-35?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14124534#comment-14124534 ]

What is your expectation of base URI for XMLSchemas to be searched 
other than default base URI?

Re: [jira] [Commented] (XMLSCHEMA-35) Multiple-Base URI Resolver

Posted by Michael Pigott <mp...@gmail.com>.
Hi Martin,
    I'm not sure if you want me to reply to either the dev mailing list,
the JIRA ticket, or both - so I'll reply to both.  The specific problem I'm
having is I want to parse XBRL documents.  XBRL is an XML format for
companies to report their quarterly & annual financial reports in, with the
intent of making it easier for government agencies to detect fraudulent
statements.
   The base XBRL schema is here:
http://www.xbrl.org/2003/xbrl-instance-2003-12-31.xsd.  It contains the
following import statement:

<import namespace="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/linkbase" schemaLocation="
xbrl-linkbase-2003-12-31.xsd"/>

As expected, the XML Schema for the linkbase namespace can be found at
http://www.xbrl.org/2003/xbrl-linkbase-2003-12-31.xsd.  So far so good.

However, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the U.S. regulatory agency
for companies on the stock market) define their own extensions to the XBRL
Schema here: http://xbrl.fasb.org/us-gaap/2013/elts/us-gaap-2013-01-31.xsd

These contain multiple import statements, including:

<xs:import namespace="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance" schemaLocation="
http://www.xbrl.org/2003/xbrl-instance-2003-12-31.xsd"/>
<xs:import namespace="http://fasb.org/us-types/2013-01-31" schemaLocation="
us-types-2013-01-31.xsd"/>

Now we have a problem.  The following schemas need to be reached:

http://www.xbrl.org/2003/xbrl-instance-2003-12-31.xsd
xbrl-linkbase-2003-12-31.xsd (base URI of http://www.xbrl.org/2003/)
http://xbrl.fasb.org/us-gaap/2013/elts/us-gaap-2013-01-31.xsd
us-types-2013-01-31.xsd (Base URI of http://xbrl.fasb.org/us-gaap/2013/elts/
)

This is the problem I ran into, that XmlSchemaMultiBaseUriResolver solves.

Thanks,
Mike
