Register XSD-Files which includes Other XSD-Files

Question

Hallo
i have two XML-Schemata. One is included by the other.
Here is an example:
This is the XSD, which is included by the other (metadata.xsd):
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
     <!-- Metadatenbereich für das xml-Dokument selbst-->
     <xs:element name="metadata" type="metadataType">
          <xs:annotation>
               <xs:documentation>ROOT ELEMENT von Metadata</xs:documentation>
          </xs:annotation>
     </xs:element>
     <!-- Glossar: Metadatenbereich + Glossarinhalt als Liste von Glossareinträgen -->
     <xs:complexType name="metadataType">
          <xs:sequence>
               <xs:element ref="identifier"/>
               <xs:element ref="category"/>
               <xs:element ref="creator"/>
               <xs:element ref="creation_date"/>
               <xs:element ref="publisher"/>
               <xs:element ref="language"/>
               <xs:element ref="title"/>
               <xs:element ref="basic_year"/>
               <xs:element ref="statistic"/>
This is the XSD, which include the other XSD (lexikon.xsd):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xdb="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb" elementFormDefault="unqualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
     <!-- Includieren der Metadaten-->
     <xs:include schemaLocation="metadata.xsd"/>
     <!-- ROOT Element von Lexikon-->
     <xs:element name="lexikon" type="lexikonType" xdb:defaultTable="LEXIKON">
          <xs:annotation>
               <xs:documentation>ROOT ELEMENT</xs:documentation>
          </xs:annotation>
     </xs:element>
     <xs:complexType name="lexikonType">
          <xs:sequence>
               <xs:element ref="metadata"/>
               <xs:element ref="lexikonEntries"/>
          </xs:sequence>
          <xs:attribute name="lexikonKat" type="xs:integer">
               <xs:annotation>
                    <xs:documentation>für spezielle UnterkategorienTypen zu den Lexikas</xs:documentation>
               </xs:annotation>
          </xs:attribute>
     </xs:complexType>
     <!---->
     <!-- GLOSSAR-ELEMENTE -->
     <!---->
     <!-- ExplicationTxt-->
     <xs:element name="explicationTxt" type="explicationType"/>
     <xs:complexType name="explicationType">
          <xs:choice>
               <xs:element ref="verweis"/>
               <xs:element ref="txt"/>
               <xs:element ref="para"/>
Both documents have i copied to a webdav-folder. Now i want register the documents.
BEGIN
DBMS_XMLSchema.registerSchema(
schemaurl=>'http://190.1.1.148:8080/home/DEV/xsd/lexikon.xsd',
schemadoc=>sys.UriFactory.getUri('/home/DEV/xsd/lexikon.xsd'));
END;
The following error-message is displayed:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-31000: Resource 'metadata.xsd' is not an XDB schema document
ORA-06512: at "XDB.DBMS_XMLSCHEMA_INT", line 0
ORA-06512: at "XDB.DBMS_XMLSCHEMA", line 166

I made the XSD-Files by XMLSpy. The Documents are well-formated and valid.
When i make a new XML-File based ONLY (of course) on lexikon.xsd everything works fine with XMLSpy.
How must i register these documents? Is it possible? Or can´t i register XSD-Files which includes others?
Thank you very much

Answer 1

Heidi,
register the metadata.xsd first inthe same way and then register the lixikon.xsd.
it should work.
