Hello I have a big Problem with validating a Soap Envelope. I have downloaded the xsd for a soap envelope from http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/ The validation succeeds as lonng as i don't use elements in body with a xsi:type attribute! The Problem is that foo:person is an abstract type and foo:driver is dervived from it. So using a foo:person is not allowed until specifing the type of person per xsi:type. The below example demonstrates this problem. When i try to validate this with the saxonica validator following error occurs Validation error on line 6 column 60 of test xml: Unknown type {foo:driver} specified in xsi:type attribute SAXON 8.9.0.3 from Saxonica validate complete The definition of of sopa body says <xs:sequence> <xs:any namespace="##any" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" processContents="lax"/> </xs:sequence> So when elements from other namespacas are found, try to find a schema defintion otherwise don't care In my example there is no schema defintion for "foo:driver" because the soap schema can not know about the schema where "foo:driver" is defined! I have no possibility at this stage of validation to include the schema defintion for those types. I need the xsi:type attribute coz the sopa body elements will be validatet at later stage. Dont specfifing the xsi:type attribute whill pass the soap envelope validation but not thr later body elements validation! How can i solve this My Sample Soap Request <env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:enc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/ envelope11.xsd"> <env:Header/> <env:Body> <foo:person xmlns:foo="http://foo" xsi:type="foo:driver"> </foo:person> </env:Body> </env:Envelope>
