Martin,
I hope you meant "However, your validator refused and example because file
3 did not import file 4".
If this is the case, I would say that XMLSpy has implemented the specs in a
more relaxed way. That is, they merge all the XSD files before starting the
validation process, so that an "import" statement done in file 1 is seen by
file 3.
Xerces is stricter: in the section "Import Constraints and Semantics" of
the paragraph 4.2.3 of the specs is clearly stated that the imported URI
must "corresponds to a valid schema". And, if OrderTypes.xsd makes use of a
type defined inside ServiceRequestOrder.xsd without importing its
definition, it's not a valid schema.
You can make the OrderTypes.xsd a valid schema by importing the
ServiceRequestOrder.xsd file; this should not have any side effect on the
XMLSpy validator.
Hope this helps,
Alberto

Hi Martin,

We ship a custom version of Xerces 1.7; compared to the official 1.7
release, it has a bunch of fixes made by the Xerces team in preparation for
the next release, and some custom code/features we need to integrate it
with Stylus.
As for letting the user provide his own parser, it's currently not
possible, as the parser needs to be tightly integrated with Stylus. We are
however considering supporting multiple XML Schema validators (e.g. MSXML,
XSV, Oracle, etc..) even if it's a low priority PCR.
Can you elaborate on your reasons to plug in a custom parser?
>BTW The parser you use is blindingly fast compared with the XML SPY one.
The Xerces team is doing a good job indeed.
Thanks,
Alberto
