[xsd-users] can xsd compile schema its structure includes reference to external schema?

[Jeffrey Yu]

Thanks Boris, thanks for the quick response.

I did what you recommended, the first two went through ok.  I got this when
compiling "company.xsd", which makes reference to both product.xsd and
person.xsd.
This is the message I get:

Person.xsd:5:46: error: unable to map XML Schema namespace
'http://www.person.org' to C++ namespace
Person.xsd:5:46: info: use the --namespace-map or --namespace-regex option
to provide custom mapping

I couldn't tell if there are problems in person.xsd as far as the structure
is concerned.  My guess is Company is unable to locate Person.xsd, or simply
something else?

Thanks again.

Hi Jeffrey,

Yes, this is doable. You just need to tell XSD how to map your new XML
namespaces to C++ namespaces. For example, you can add the following
options to the respective command lines:

--namespace-map http://www.product.org=product
--namespace-map http://www.person.org=person
--namespace-map http://www.company.org=company

Which will make XSD place the generated code into product, person, and
company C++ namespaces, respectively. Or, you can generate everything
into the global namespace (this is what you probably had before the
split):

--namespace-map http://www.product.org=
--namespace-map http://www.person.org=
--namespace-map http://www.company.org=

See Section 3.3, "Namespace Mapping" in the C++/Tree Mapping Getting
Started Guide for more information:
