Hi,
I am using a schema which includes an element without a type (which
should therefore default to xsd:anyType). For example:
<xsd:element name="foo"/>
However, if I create a schema using the following code,
I get a null typeDefinition for this element declaration.
XSDParser xsdp = new XSDParser();
xsdp.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes));
XSDSchema xsdSchema = xsdp.getSchema();
List elems = xsdSchema.getElementDeclarations();
XSDTypeDefinition typeDefinition =
elems.get(0).getTypeDefinition();
The only time I get "anyType" is if I set the schemaLocation. This seems
odd.
If I create the schema using the XSDParser, and the schema doesn't have any
include/import/redefine directives, am I really required to set the
schemaLocation (with a bogus value) just to get this to work?
Regards,
Seely.

Seely,
Yes, you need to set a schema location, or more generally put the schema
in a resource in a resource set, before the schema is considered
complete enough to do a full type analysis. Doing a full analysis is
expensive and it will tend to be incomplete unless names can all
resolve, which will tend not to be the case until the context is
complete. To write code that handles any schema in general, it's best
to assume that there will be external dependencies in it.
