Re-posting without the attachment, 120KB appears to be too much to post.
=================
Thanx a ton Shaheer, this gets me 75% of the way there. The other 25%
appears to have to do with the fact that BTS2004 is treating the xml:
namesace as any other namespace instead of the reserved namespace the W3C
intended. Take a look at a sample message I'm getting out of a schema
(ignore the values, they're all made up):
<ns0:SIF_Message Version="1.1"
xmlns:ns1="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
xmlns:ns0=http://visualsi.com/B2BSolution>
<ns0:SIF_Ack>
<ns0:SIF_Status>
<ns0:SIF_Data>
<ns0:SIF_Message Version="1.1" />
</ns0:SIF_Data>
</ns0:SIF_Status>
</ns0:SIF_Ack>
<ns0:SIF_Event>
<ns0:SIF_ObjectData>
<ns0:Assessment ns1:lang="en">
<ns0:Title>lunguw</ns0:Title>
<ns0:AssessmentType>Meshuaw</ns0:AssessmentType>
<ns0:AssessmentInstanceForm>lunguw, gaeplu</ns0:AssessmentInstanceForm>
<ns0:AssessmentComment>82</ns0:AssessmentComment>
<ns0:PauseFlag>641</ns0:PauseFlag>
<ns0:Objective>8/10/1990</ns0:Objective>
<ns0:Rubric>
<ns0:Criterion>M</ns0:Criterion>
</ns0:Rubric>
</ns0:Assessment>
</ns0:SIF_ObjectData>
</ns0:SIF_Event>
</ns0:SIF_Message>
What I had expected was for only one namespace to be defined
(xmlns=http://visualsi.com/B2BSolution), for all the tags to be namespace
unqualified, except for the "lang" attribute qualified to the special xml:
namespace (which doesn't need an xmlns declaration).
I am sure the xml above will break some of my clients' applications. Is
there any hope of "improving" on it? I am including in this posting to the
newsgroup a zip of my project and a file drop directory.
Thanx!
