James,
I'm not sure which XML tools that you are using, but I'll give you my
experiences and make a suggestion.
I use Eclipse and for XML and XSD editing I've installed the Eclipse Web
Tools Project, which you can find here:
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/main.php
The XML editor in WTP supports creation and editing of XML files with
assist and validation based either on the use of DTD or on the use of
XSD files to define the structure of the XML documents.
Here is a quick and incomplete sample of an SCA composite file which I
built using the editor:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sca:composite name="NCName"
targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org";
xmlns:sca="http://www.osoa.org/xmlns/sca/1.0";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.osoa.org/xmlns/sca/1.0
../xsds/sca-core.xsd ">
<sca:component name="test1">
<sca:service name="service1">
</sca:service>
</sca:component>
</sca:composite>
This had validation and assist working for me.
Note the schemaLocation attribute in the composite element - this points
at the xsds for SCA. In my case I had a local copy in my project, hence
the "../xsds/..." location value. The XSDs are actually also available
online in the place implied by their namespace:
http://www.osoa.org/xmlns/sca/1.0/...
So, I hope that by providing a correct schemaLocation attribute in your
composite files you should be able to get the behaviour you're after.
Now, I suppose the next thought is to ensure a valid schemaLocation
attribute in our sample files....
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.osoa.org/xmlns/sca/1.0
http://www.osoa.org/xmlns/sca/1.0/sca-core.xsd";
will do the trick I think.
What do other folks think?
Yours, Mike.

thanks for your reply. i adding information about Eclipse use of DTD.
if similar for XSD then that's fine (i'm not an expert on this). see
screenshots added to this issue.

---------------------------------------
James,
Does it have to be a DTD - or will an XSD be sufficient to meet your
requirements?
I have a particular dislike of DTDs born of having to deal with them
in relation to SGML documents "back in the old days".
There are plenty of tools that can work with XSDs and use them for
validation.

> Samples should supply a DOCTYPE in *.composite xml files, that
points to a stored DTD, so that XML editing tools can be used to
create/edit/validate XML schema. This will enhance
productivity/accuracy.
