[SOLVED] Same element name in two different xsd files

Same element name in two different xsd files

I have two xsd files.However , the element name is same in both files. So , to overcome from conflicts I have created binding file.

Request.xsd

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
  <xs:element name="XML">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element ref="HEADER"/>
        <xs:element ref="TOUR_OP"/>
        <xs:element ref="CUSTOMERID"/>
        <xs:element ref="DATEDEP"/>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
  <xs:element name="HEADER" type="xs:NCName"/>
  <xs:element name="TOUR_OP" type="xs:NCName"/>
  <xs:element name="CUSTOMERID" type="xs:integer"/>
  <xs:element name="DATEDEP" type="xs:integer"/>
</xs:schema>

Binding File (XJB)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bindings xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/bindingschema_2_0.xsd"
          version="2.1">

        <bindings schemaLocation="TTSAeroplanPointsSuccessResponse_v1.0.xsd">
            <bindings node=".//xsi:attribute[@name='XML']">
                <class name="XMLResponse"/>
            </bindings>
        </bindings>
</bindings>

As you can see , I both xsd files contain element name="XML" and binding file is created to overcome the conflicts while generating model classes.

I am getting an Error : XPath evaluation of ".//xsi:attribute[@name='XML']" results in empty target node

Please advice me , how I can resolve this.

Solution

Since the two XML elements are distinct, consider using different names - RequestXml, ResponseXml. Much simpler since you won't need to use binding. Keep It Simple principal in action!
