Hi Experts,

I want to import a XSD as external definition.

This XSD looks as below:

Hi Christine Banks

I have tried to imprort the same file in my system but I am not getting such error message to analyze further.

I am getting below errro in my system -

Unable to convert imported document to WSDL

Reason:

Unable to recognize document as valid XSDCheck selected category

Can you pls attached xsd file.

I also dont see QName name element in the xsd file.

thanks

Hi Chirag,

thank u for your prompt reply.

I get the same error as you mentioned.

The error log i get through External Definition --> Check or press F7.

I have also not found QName in the file. wondering also.

Regards

Christine

Hi Christine,

I edited your xsd, it contains a lot of errors . Schemas should always have a prefix e.g  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" uses xsd prefix. Hence all the tags in the schema has to begin and/or end with xsd or xs.

The use of xsd:choice is not in line with w3c recommendation

<choice>
      <xsd:element name="PREIS" type="xsd:float" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1" />
      <xsd:element name="STAFFELPREIS" type="STAFFELPREIS_TYPE" maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="1" />
</choice>

In an xsd choice, only one of the two options should appear. Might as well replace that with xsd:sequence.

Attached is the edited xsd in text format.

Mark

Hi Mark,

thank u very much for your support!

Your XSD is OK. Aber it is not valid for XML file.

So I asked the provider to generate the xsd once more.
