RE: what is the replacement for xml:lang in CR version?

Hi Komal,

Yes, it looks like there is an error in this xml.xsd schema.  If you
absolutely can't upgrade to Xerces 1.4, I think the best thing you can do in
the short term is make a local copy of the schema and correct it (by adding
the use="default" attribute), and import that copy instead.

  Priscilla,
  I tried the one that you mentioned for schemaLocation, but get the same
error:
  Schema error: Globally-declared attributes containing values MUST have
"use" present and set to "FIXED" or "DEFAULT".>
  org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Schema error: Globally-declared attributes
containing values MUST have "use" present and set to "FIXED" or "DEFAULT".
          at
weblogic.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.reportError(XMLParser.java:1090)


  this is the xsd snippet :
  <?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
  <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd = "http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"
  xmlns:xml = "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
  >
   <xsd:import namespace = "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
     schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/xml.xsd"
   />
  ........

    Komal,If you change the schemaLocation to:<xs:import
namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
    schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/xml.xsd"/>it should include a
previous version of xml.xsd which conforms to the CR rec.Priscilla

      Assuming you are talking of xml schema specs,
      I am using xerces 1.3.1 which supports CR and not the final REC.
      I cannot upgrade to latest versions 1.4 for product-reasons,
      so does that mean I cannot use xml:lang until I move to REC supported
parser?
      Komal.

        Which schema validation tool are you using?  It appears that you are
not using a validator that is updated to the final recommendation.  The use
attribute with default or fixed was removed from the final spec.

           when I import www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd, i get error saying global
attribute in xml.xsd should have use with value being default or fixed.

            This is not the correct way of using it though....
            If you want to use the xml:space or xml:lang attributes in your
schema you have to declare
            them by reference and import the XML namespace from W3C. You
can't "redeclare" the
            attributes as in the above schema.
            So, first you have to import the XML namespace using the import
statement like:

            <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
            schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd"/>

            You also have to add a namespace declaration on your xs:schema
element. Like:

            <xs:schema
...xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"...>...

            No, you can reference the attributes defined by this namespace
in your own schema using:

            <xs:attribute ref="xml:lang"/>

            Hope this helps.
