Hi Mohini,

Please check the structure for well-formedness in a tool such as XML Spy.

Hi,

The structure that you posted dose'nt look like XSD its like a XML. Actually you have created a Schema based on DTD and not XSD. Did you use Altova to create this, then please select W3Schema instead of DTD while creating it.

The following is the strucutre I got when I created using the XML you have posted.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
	<xs:complexType name="CredentialType">
		<xs:sequence>
			<xs:element ref="Identity"/>
			<xs:element name="SharedSecret" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
		</xs:sequence>
		<xs:attribute name="domain" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
	</xs:complexType>
	<xs:element name="Identity" type="xs:string"/>
	<xs:element name="cXML">
		<xs:complexType>
			<xs:sequence>
				<xs:element name="Header">

Thanks Prakash. Yes I used the XML SPY to convert the XML to XSD (Would you please tell me the steps involved to convert from an XML to XSD please).

Currently our XI server is down and I need to wait until it comes up.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Mohini,

I think to one of your post I have given you the steps

refer this post

Anyways here are the steps

1. Open your XML in Altova XML Spy

2. Goto menu DTD/Schema ---> Generate DTD/Schema

3. You will get a popup there you select <b>W3C Schema</b> instead of <b>DTD</b> which is under the block <b>DTD/Schema file format</b>.

4. You wil be prompted for XSD name in a Save Dialog, give the XSD file name you wanted.

5. Save it

6. Import the XSD file into your IR as External definition

Thats it you will have a XSD file.

Thanks,

Prakash
