[xsd-users] wildcard namespaces

[Latrach, Farhat]

Hi Boris,

I have had an issue parsing "wildcard" elements when the namespaces mappings used in the wildcard element are defined in a parent element.

I do agree with the design of expecting the wildcard element to be independent and contains its proper namespaces/ or namespaces mapping; This was not easy for me to agree on with the sender.

To resolve the issue I managed to parse in a DOMDocument then add them to  the wildcard's DOMElement.

Here is my workaround:

 xsd::cxx::xml::dom::auto_ptr<xercesc::DOMDocument> doc ....
  .....
  .....
//wildcard
::xercesc::DOMElement& wildcard = xmlRequest->payload().any();

::xercesc::DOMElement* rootElement = doc.get()->getDocumentElement();
  DOMNamedNodeMap* theAttributes = rootElement ->getAttributes(); // namespaces are always expected at root (my specific case)
for ( size_t i =0 ; i < theAttributes->getLength (); i ++ )
{
  DOMNode* rootNode = theAttributes ->item(i);

  if ( xsd::cxx::xml::transcode<char>( rootNode ->getNodeName() ).find("xmlns") != std::basic_string<char>::npos )
   {
    wildcard. setAttributeNS( xsd::cxx::xml::string("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/").c_str(),  rootNode ->getNodeName(),
     rootNode->getNodeValue() );
   }
}

Is there a better way?

Is it possible to have an xml_schema::namespace_infomap in the generated cxx-tree parsing functions like a reference to an empty map to be populated(suggestion)?

Thanks.
