In the attached xml file, B.ref should reference A.id. When it does not, we get:
Error at file keyrefTest.xml, line 6, char 8 Message: The key for identity constraint of element 'test' is not found. Notice that line 6 is the last line of the file. Is there any way for the error message to point to the line where the wrong keyref actually appears (in this case, line 5 <B ref="ab"/> ). victoria The xml file: <?xml version="1.0"?> <test xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="keyrefTest.xsd"> <A id="abc"/> <B ref="ab"/> </test> The schema: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xs:element name="test"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="A"> <xs:complexType> <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:string"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="B"> <xs:complexType> <xs:attribute name="ref" type="xs:string"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> <xs:unique name="aid"> <xs:selector xpath="A"/> <xs:field xpath="@id"/> </xs:unique> <xs:keyref name="aref" refer="aid"> <xs:selector xpath="B"/> <xs:field xpath="@ref"/> </xs:keyref> </xs:element> </xs:schema> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
