Hi Martin,
I'm not sure if you want me to reply to either the dev mailing list,
the JIRA ticket, or both - so I'll reply to both. The specific problem I'm
having is I want to parse XBRL documents. XBRL is an XML format for
companies to report their quarterly & annual financial reports in, with the
intent of making it easier for government agencies to detect fraudulent
statements.
The base XBRL schema is here:
http://www.xbrl.org/2003/xbrl-instance-2003-12-31.xsd. It contains the
following import statement:
<import namespace="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/linkbase"; schemaLocation="
xbrl-linkbase-2003-12-31.xsd"/>
As expected, the XML Schema for the linkbase namespace can be found at
http://www.xbrl.org/2003/xbrl-linkbase-2003-12-31.xsd. So far so good.
However, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the U.S. regulatory agency
for companies on the stock market) define their own extensions to the XBRL
Schema here: http://xbrl.fasb.org/us-gaap/2013/elts/us-gaap-2013-01-31.xsd
These contain multiple import statements, including:
<xs:import namespace="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance"; schemaLocation="
http://www.xbrl.org/2003/xbrl-instance-2003-12-31.xsd"/>
<xs:import namespace="http://fasb.org/us-types/2013-01-31"; schemaLocation="
us-types-2013-01-31.xsd"/>
Now we have a problem. The following schemas need to be reached:
http://www.xbrl.org/2003/xbrl-instance-2003-12-31.xsd
xbrl-linkbase-2003-12-31.xsd (base URI of http://www.xbrl.org/2003/)
http://xbrl.fasb.org/us-gaap/2013/elts/us-gaap-2013-01-31.xsd
us-types-2013-01-31.xsd (Base URI of http://xbrl.fasb.org/us-gaap/2013/elts/
)
This is the problem I ran into, that XmlSchemaMultiBaseUriResolver solves.
Thanks,
Mike
