[xsd-users] Incorrect parsing of unqualified attributes in schema with qualified attributes

Thu Jun 19 10:05:00 EDT 2014

Hi Boris,

We encountered a problem with XSD 4.0.0.a14. For the attached schema it generates wrong code for
parsing attributes from imported schema with attributeFormDefault=“unqualified” while the importing
schema has attributeFormDefault=“qualified”.

For example, the following XML is correct with respect to schema files from the attachments.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<s1:root xmlns:s1="http://s.com/S1" xmlns:s2="http://s.com/S2">
    <s1:c>
        <s2:b a="text"/>
    </s1:c>
</s1:root>

However, when we run xsd like this:

./xsd cxx-tree --file-per-type s1.xsd s2.xsd s3.xsd

the generated function parse() for type A assumes that attribute “a” must be qualified and thus the above
XML is not valid since attribute “a” has empty namespace.

There is another inconsistency. When we run xsd without --file-per-type then generated parse() expects
attribute “a” without namespace and this seems to be correct.

Thanks
