[xsstl-users] Failed to use http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd with the xds tool

[David Eriksson]

Hi,

I recently downloaded xds 2.1.1 and started experimenting a bit.

Out of curiosity I tried to generate C++ code for
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd but it didn't go very well.

First it complained a lot about the DTD defintions, so I removed the
DOCTYPE entry and continued.

It also complained about "'http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd' is not a
valid filesystem path" so I downloaded that file and provided the file
system path instead.

After that, I get each of the following error messages at least once. I
have removed dups for brevity:

error: SimpleType (http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema:allNNI) for attribute: maxOccurs not found
error: SimpleType (http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema:blockSet) for attribute: blockDefault not found
error: SimpleType (http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema:blockSet) for attribute: block not found

error: Type of attribute 'ref' must be validly derived from type of attribute in base
error: Type of attribute 'substitutionGroup' must be validly derived from type of attribute in base
error: Type of attribute 'use' must be validly derived from type of attribute in base

It looks like all of the errors are issues with the XML Schema itself,
am I right?
