Importing schema and processContents "skip"

  1. XML Schema

XML Schema keys: import, processContents

1. XML Schema

Let's say we use "any" or "anyAttribute" elements and set their attribute "processContents" to value "skip". Then there is only one requirement for those elements/attributes, which are represented by the "any/anyAttribute" pattern: to be well-formed. 3.10.1 The Wildcard Schema Component

Valid document
The file is valid, no validation of "bar:x" elements is performed.


<foo:root xsi:schemaLocation="http://foo correct_0.xsd" xmlns:foo="http://foo" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:bar="http://bar" >
  <bar:x>1</bar:x>
  <bar:x>2</bar:x>
</foo:root>

Valid document
The file is valid, no validation of "bar:x" elements nor "x" element is performed.


<foo:root xsi:schemaLocation="http://foo correct_0.xsd" xmlns:foo="http://foo" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:bar="http://bar" >
  <bar:x>1</bar:x>
  <x xmlns="">xyz</x>
  <bar:x>2</bar:x>
</foo:root>

Correct XML Schema (correct_0.xsd)


<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://foo" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" >

  <xsd:import namespace="http://bar" schemaLocation="correct_1.xsd"/>

  <xsd:element name="root">
    <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:sequence minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">
        <xsd:any namespace="##other" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" processContents="skip"/>
      </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
  </xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>

Correct XML Schema (correct_1.xsd)


<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://bar" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" >

  <xsd:element name="x" type="xsd:integer"/>
</xsd:schema>
