Validation of element with

["Vivekanand V." <VV...@quark.co.in>]

Hi all,

   I having a problem with validating xml file against a schema due to some
namespace reference in the xml. I am using the <xs:anyAttribute
namespace="##other"/>     to define that a element can have any atrribute
from any other namespace. In the xml file i have attribute for this element
say mynamespace:name="XML Bible". When i try to validate the xml file
against the schema it give me a error name is not defined.

 The schema(sample.xsd) is like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
	<xs:element name="booklist">
		<xs:complexType>
			<xs:sequence>
				<xs:element name="book"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
					<xs:complexType>
						<!-- book can have
anyattribute from another namespace -->
						<xs:anyAttribute
namespace="##other"/>    
					</xs:complexType>
				</xs:element>
			</xs:sequence>
		</xs:complexType>
	</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

The xml file(sample.xml) is 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<booklist xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:mynamespace="http://www.sample.com/sample"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="E:\xmlfiles\sample.xsd">
	<book mynamespace:name="XML Bible"/> 
</booklist>

When i tried to run the sample program sax2print -f sample.xml

it throws me a error 

	 Attribute '{http://www.sample.com/sample}name' is not declared for
element 'book'

But when i tried to validate it using msxml parser no such error was thrown.

What i am trying to define is that element book can contain any attribute
from any namespace. Is it a constraint that i should have a definition for
the attribute.

Thanks in advance
Vivekanand

That is because.....the "name" is not defined:)
To resolve, you should

1. Provide an XML Schema with targetNamespace=http://www.sample.com/sample
that defines the
   attribute name, and import it in the sample.xsd
  <xs:import schemaLocation="http://www.sample.com/sample sample2.xsd">
or refer to it in the instance document, like:
<book mynamespace:name="XML Bible"
schemaLocation="http://www.sample.com/sample sample2.xsd"/>

2. Specify "lax" in the processContent attribute of your anyAttribute
declaration
<xs:anyAttribute namespace="##other" processContents="lax"/>

It will instruct the parser to validate the attribute if you provide the
corresonding declaration or do not validate
otherwise

You have found a bug in msxml :)
