Importing schema with XMLmapper in Delphi? - delphi

I try to import some valid schema (for xmlspy and oxygen) with XMLMapper in delphi and I have this error
"Error Flux if:InfofileType unknown".
I use namespace and this type is define in another file.
Is there a way to solve this ?
(I also try with Delphi 2010 demo and it still not work)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:if="http://www.gtest.fr/Apps/InfoFile" xmlns:ca="http://www.gtest.fr/Apps/CommandAnswer" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:import namespace="http://www.gtest.fr/Apps/InfoFile" schemaLocation="InfoFile.xsd" />
<xs:import namespace="http://www.gtest.fr/Apps/CommandAnswer" schemaLocation="CommandAnswer.xsd" />
- <xs:element name="ServerAnswer">
- <xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>Reponse serveur socket</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
- <xs:complexType>
- <xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="InfoFile" type="if:InfoFileType" />
<xs:element name="Command" type="ca:CommandAnswerType" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
reported in QC : http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=80124

I would still try to grab a Delphi 2010 (trial) and see if it works there.
I know there has been significant work done there in D2009 and D2010. It was notoriously bad at doing imports and includes.
Much better now...
If you cannot solve this, I would recommend to manually edit the schemas to remove the include/import and build a big fat XSD without the external file. It should work better.
That's how I did with a rather intricate set of schemas that even .Net lib would choke on.
Update: Could you try to replace the if:InfoFile by another symbol to avoid any clash with the if reserved word; i.e. search 'n' replace if in the schemas by _if_ or anything else... The XML mapper is supposed to care of this but, ya know...

Eric Thorniley finally give me the way to go here.
It seems XML Mapper does not
understand the namespaces correctly.
You can however coax it into life by
adding an extra namespace definition
into the imported files. This is, I am
sure, not right.
So, for instance, in your
Insurance.xsd you declare
xmlns:Utils="http://www.gtest.fr/Apps/Utils"
If you add exactly the same definition
into Utils.xsd, XML Mapper imports it
correctly (I think!)
Ther is a fair chance that XML Spy
would strip out my modifications -
certainly Enterprise Architect ignores
them completely.

I'd like to see the message that Eric Thorniley pointed you to, but it is no longer there. I might be able to find it in an archive somewhere, if I had the subject of the message. I tried a Google search but all I found were duplicate copies of this post on different sites.
Thanks

Getting errors in Saxon-HE 9.9.1 when processing DITA: I/O error on DTD

Using Saxon 9.9.1.3J, I am getting an I/O error every time I try to transform a DITA file that has a DTD:
I/O error reported by XML parser processing file:/test.dita: /learningAssessment.dtd (No such file or directory)
This happens even if I force -dtd:off on the command line. Commenting out the DTD in the DITA file does allow it to process.
Interestingly, when I run the same DITA file in oXygen using Saxon-HE 9.8.0.12, it does process correctly. Any idea what might be causing this to behave differently?
Sample DITA file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE learningAssessment PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Learning Assessment//EN" "learningAssessment.dtd">
<learningAssessment id="id">
<title>Title</title>
<learningAssessmentbody>
<lcInteraction>
<lcSingleSelect id="lcSingleSelect_agy_fxz_ljb">
<lcQuestion>Question</lcQuestion>
<lcAnswerOptionGroup id="lcAnswerOptionGroup_bgy_fxz_ljb">
<lcAnswerOption>
<lcAnswerContent>A</lcAnswerContent>
</lcAnswerOption>
<lcAnswerOption>
<lcAnswerContent>B</lcAnswerContent>
<lcCorrectResponse/>
</lcAnswerOption>
</lcAnswerOptionGroup>
</lcSingleSelect>
</lcInteraction>
</learningAssessmentbody>
</learningAssessment>
And here's a shell of an XSL that demonstrates the error:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="3.0">
<xsl:output />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
You can resolve the problem by the following steps:
Download DITA-OT and expand it any folder you like. In my case it is located at D:\DITA-OT\dita-ot-3.3.4.
Set CLASSPATH environment variable to contain saxon9he.jarand xml-resolver-1.2.jar in DITA-OT/lib.
Invoke Saxon by specifying class name net.sf.saxon.Transform and the catalog: paramter that specifies [DITA-OT]/catalog-dita.xml.
Here is execution example command window:
Hope this helps!
My guess is that you have somehow contrived to give the document a base URI of "file:/test.dita: ", including the final space. You haven't shown how you are running the transformation, so we can't tell where this base URI comes from.
The option -dtd:off is a little misleading. It doesn't switch off DTD processing, only DTD-based validation, which is just one aspect of DTD processing. An XSLT processor always needs to ask the XML parser to read the DTD in order to expand any entity references.
(Well, theoretically it could delay reading any external DTD until it finds the first entity reference; but sadly, I don't know of any XML parser that does that.)
I misunderstood how DTDs work. I assumed the public ones were loaded from an HTTP URL, but they need to be local files. Loading the catalog for DITA OT resolved the issue.
transform -s:test.dita -xsl:test.xsl -o:test.html -catalog:/org.oasis-open.dita.v1_2/plugins/org.oasis-open.dita.v1_2/catalog.xml
Where the catalog option points to this file on my local filesystem, which comes from DITA OT

Schema error with SalesForce wsdl

I have been working with an Apex class in SalesForce that has been working perfectly in terms of updating, generating the new WSDL and updating the reference in Visual Studio. Yesterday I added a new method and now I get an invalid schema error in VS when trying to update the reference. I tested the validaty of the WSDL here www.wsdl-analyzer.com and sure enough it gave me the error:
The reference ns1:ID in the XML Schema references a type or element that is not defined. Please make sure that your Schema documents are correct.
Looking at the xml file I can see that even in visual studio it doesnt like this particular line or several of the others as well:
<xsd:element name="CreatedById" minOccurs="0" type="ns1:ID" nillable="true"/>
The first few lines of the xml file look like (I've replaced parts with xxxx for privacy but they refer to the SF instance):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<definitions targetNamespace="http://soap.sforce.com/schemas/class/xxxx" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:tns="http://soap.sforce.com/schemas/class/xxxx" xmlns:AvailabilityExtended="http://soap.sforce.com/schemas/class/AvailabilityExtended" xmlns:BookingWrapper="http://soap.sforce.com/schemas/class/BookingWrapper">
<types>
<xsd:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://soap.sforce.com/schemas/class/AvailabilityExtended">
Any suggestions?

Modifying Wsdl2Apex Generated Classes to Handle xs:extension and imported namespaces

I am having trouble with wsdl2apex code generation, mainly due to the use of xs:import namespace and xs:extension in my WSDL.
In particular, I am seeing the error System.CalloutException: Web service callout failed: Unable to parse callout response. Apex type not found for element . . .. The raw SOAP response returned by the web service looks as I would expect.
I would like to modify the generated Apex classes to work around this issue, as server-side changes to the web service is not an option.
The SOAP response looks like the below:
<ns:getAccountsResponse>
<ns:return xsi:type="ax1:AccountReturn">
<ax2:successful>true</ax2:successful>
<ax2:transactionId>1000</ax2:transactionId>
<ax1:Accounts xsi:type="ax1:Account">
And the WSDL looks like this for the ax1 target namespace:
<xs:complexType name="AccountReturn">
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="ax100:BaseReturnObject">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="Accounts" nillable="true" type="ax1:Account"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
And for the ax2 target namespace:
<xs:complexType name="BaseReturnObject">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="successful" type="xs:boolean"/>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="transactionId" nillable="true" type="xs:integer"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
The generated Apex Class which maps to AccountReturn only contains the fields for Accounts in ax1, but not the BaseReturnObject fields in ax2, since the wsdl2apex generation does not respect the use of xs:extension or the importing of namespaces (based on my research).
Is there anyway to modify the Apex Class to make this work? I tried adding the fields from BaseReturnObject to AccountReturn, and modifying field_order_type_info. However, it appears that apex_schema_type_info can only point to one namespace, and this may be the reason that the parsing of the callout response is still failing.
I've built a tool for automating the creation of the Apex classes. It includes support for xs:extension and xs:import (among other things).
In the case of an ex:extension, the tool will pull the required fields from the base class into the subclass and correctly configure the _type_info members.
You can get it for free - FuseIT SFDC Explorer. Currently in only runs directly in Windows. I've had reports of people running it successfully using Wine. (Disclosure: I work for the company that releases this tool).
Incidentally, the salesforce.stackexchange.com site is a great place to ask Salesforce specific questions.

How to extend BPMN 2.0

Currently, I'm investigating the ways to extend BPMN. I want to create a new task type with less properties than a task and also with some non-BPMN properties and a new type of pool.
Until now I saw that people mentioned of two ways, using Extension Points and using an external schema. Unfortunately in Internet, I could not find that many resources to understand these methods extensively.
What I understood from these methods:
Extension Points: There are some standard extension points provided by BPMN engine vendors (Aktiviti, jBPM, etc...). For instance in Activiti there is a Custom Service Task which can be extended with user desired properties but I did not find any resources if this newly created extension task can be deployed on the Aktiviti workflow engine and also it would be nice to see the new BPMN schema for this extension.
Using an external schema: Defining desired properties in an external schema and referencing this schema from Semantic.xsd. In this case we will also need to adapt our Workflow Engine but it's more flexible than the method I mentioned before or am I missing missing something?
The only thing that is not clear is this method does not extend directly task definition so these properties can be used by every element in BPMN?
An example external schema is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
xmlns="http://myproject.org//bpmn/extensions/NEWTask"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:bpmn="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL"
xmlns:exvar="http://myproject.org/externalDefs"
targetNamespace="http://myproject.org//bpmn/extensions/NEWTask"
>
<xsd:import namespace="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL" schemaLocation="BPMN20.xsd"/>
<xsd:import schemaLocation="externalDefs.xsd" namespace="http://myproject.org/externalDefs" />
<xsd:complexType name="tProperty1" abstract="false">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:any namespace="##any" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:group id="tNEWTask" name="tNEWTask">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Property2" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<xsd:element name="Property1" type="tProperty1" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<xsd:element name="Property2" type="exvar:Varaible1" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:group>
</xsd:schema>
Are there any other methods for extending BPMN or any resources that you can point me so that I can have a better insight about this topic?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance!
There's this tool developed by a brazilian researcher: http://code.google.com/p/bpmnx/
it works on extension points as far as i remember.
As you are not talking about any concrete BPMN implementation (activiti, jbpm), and you are talking about your own process engine I assume that what you want to do is extend the XML in accordance to BPMN rules.
That said, you can look at BPMN 2.0 specification (I think it's very long, and probably boring) or you can try to look at some bpmn book. BPMN method & style book has a part about implementing BPMN, so maybe that's useful to you.
Note: When there's a standard like BPMN, which has a lot of support, sometimes it's useful if you really need to extended. Is it worth extending something standard, which hasn't been considered? (Not saying you can't do it, but you should think what it brings to you and if couldn't you do it with the regular stuff).
Here is some discussion of this topic on the Activiti Forums and on the MDT Eclipse plugin forum.
Unfortunately, with some simple testing I have not been able to implement a new namespace
(e.g. xmlns:newns="http://www.mynewns.com/newns in
<definitions xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:activiti="http://activiti.org/bpmn"
xmlns:bpmndi="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/DI"
xmlns:omgdc="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DC"
xmlns:omgdi="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DI"
typeLanguage="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:newns="http://www.mynewns.com/newns"
expressionLanguage="http://www.w3.org/1999/XPath"
targetNamespace="http://www.activiti.org/bpmn2.0">
and an element like <userTask newns:ownerID="owner1">).
Custom elements in my Activiti diagram don't work either -- the Eclipse plugin seems to discard my custom namespace and ignore my elements. Don't know why; still researching.
You can take a look at the Eclipse BPMN2 Modeler.
There are some tutorials available (e.g. extending the runtime and creating a custom task).

svcutil generated unneccesary wrapper classes

I am working on a project that uses the contract first approach. I was given a WSDL and three xsd's. When I use svcutil it generates a wrapper around the response class like so:
public partial class getDataByIdResponse1 {
public getDataByIdResponse getDataByIdResponse;
public getDataByIdResponse1() {
}
public getDataByIdResponse1(getDataByIdResponse getDataByIdResponse) {
this.getDataByIdResponse = getDataByIdResponse;
}
}
The getDataByIdResponse is wrapped inside a getDataByIdResponse1 object. This is done by svcutil and I have no idea why. The getDataByIdResponse1 object does not exist in the WSDL:
<wsdl:message name="getDataById">
<wsdl:part name="response" element="tns:getDataByIdResponse"/>
</wsdl:message>
<xs:element name="getDataByIdResponse">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="data" type="sbc:DataType" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
Why is the type getDataByIdResponse wrapped in getDataByIdResponse1? Is there a switch for svcutil I should have used?
I'm in the same boat as you but I don't just want to live with it. I want to generate clean (unwrapped) contracts. If the wsdl and xsd's were given to you then there are some rules that your schema and wsdl need to follow in order for svc util to generate unwrapped code. These links helped me understand the issue a little better
http://pzf.fremantle.org/2007/05/handlign.html
http://mharbauer.wordpress.com/2007/10/19/wcf-datacontract-serializer-and-documentwrapped/
For now my schema and wsdl are small enough that I can tweak them to adhere to this rules.
However, like Ron, I've also been in situations where the easiest thing is just to live with it.
Hope this helps.
I am in the same situation (contract-first) and svcutil is generating this same kind of code for me but I just closed my eyes took a deep breath and accepted it :-)
Just use the types without the numeric postfix and it just works.
