Just wondered if anyone had got schema validation to work in Eclipse (3.5 - Galileo) for Coherence 3.7.1.0?
The Coherence developer docs show that you should add sections like this:
<pof-config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config
coherence-pof-config.xsd">
However, if I use that "shortened" form (for cache, pof, etc. configs) Eclipse gives a warning "No grammar constraints (DTD or XML schema) detected for the document." and the schema validation fails to work (i.e. no "auto pop-ups" when entering content, and rubbish content is gladly accepted.)
In Coherence 3.7.0, I'd used the following "extended" form (note the longer "schemaLocation") to get things working correctly:
<pof-config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config
http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config/1.0/coherence-pof-config.xsd">
Also note that entering the "http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config/1.0/coherence-pof-config.xsd" in a web browser opens the xsd, as you'd expect.
Now...
I'm looking at the PofAnnotationSerializer in 3.7.1.0 and the "auto indexing" option. The declaration in my pof file for it fails as the "class" (or fully-qualified java.lang.Class version) in the "init-params" section isn't valid. If I look at the xsd on the url above, this is indeed the case, that option does not appear.
However, if I look at the POF xsd in the coherence.jar file for 3.7.1.0, the "class" option has been added, and has a newer 'version="1.1"' added to it's schema declaration. So I therefore tried to point my "extended" declaration to point to " http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config/1.1/coherence-pof-config.xsd", in order to get schema validation to work in Eclipse with this new schema. Unfortunately that url doesn't exist - you get a "Content Server Request Failed" error.
So, I guess my question is, is there a way to get myself pointed at the 1.1 versions of the xsd's so I can have schema validation working in Ecliipse? Or is there another workaround (did a bit of Googling, but that mainly seemed to be people switching validation off to simply get rid of the error...)
Cheers,
