Re: XML/Ada schema validation and XML namespaces

[J Kimball <nntp@kmbll.com>]

There is a minor error in the XML schema. The correct schema is:

A schema (agent.xsd):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
targetNamespace="http://example.com/schemas/agent"
xmlns:agent="http://example.com/schemas/agent">
  <xs:element name="response" type="agent:agent-message"/>
  <xs:complexType name="agent-message">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element ref="agent:message"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
  <xs:element name="message" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:schema>
