hi David,
XML file itself <b>cannot </b>be used as <b>external Definition</b>, because it is just a structured file (contents) which is created based on some well defined structure.
This well defined structure can a be schema definition file which other wise called as XSD.
We can use this XSD or eXternal Schema Defintion in external definition.
Before importing XSD into Integration Repository through External Definition, first study the
xml file you want to import in IR environment and convert into XSD. Converting can done using some tools or manually on a notepad and saving the file with ".<b>xsd</b>" extension.
Configuration Steps
1. Go to IR environment
2. Under the main objects tab select the Software Component and the namespace where you need to use XSD
3. Then go Interface Object, you can see external Definition
4. Right click on it and say "<b>new</b>" and name the external definition
5. Then it will ask the file to locate from the file system, give the necessary path and there you go you XSD file will be imported into your IR environment which can be directly used as Interface.
Moreover you can also used WSDL and DTD other than XSD
