Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi!


I keep getting a src-resolve error from the JAXB binding compiler whenever I try to import other XML schemes into my own.

For example:
I want to use a SignatureType element as defined in the official XML signature schema.
So I imported it into my own schema and use it as follows:

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#">

<xsd:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" 
schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xmldsig-core-20020212/xmldsig-core-schema.xsd"/>

...
<xsd:complexType name="PayloadType">
 <xsd:sequence>
  ...
   <xsd:element name="signature" type="ds:SignatureType" minOccurs="0"/>
  ...
 </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

However if I run XJC to compile my schema I get this error:

[xjc] [ERROR] src-resolve: Cannot resolve the name 'ds:SignatureType' to a(n) 'type definition' component.

I am using JAXB 2.0 EA from the JWSDP 2.0 and XJC is called from an Ant task.

I am pretty new to JAXB and XML schemes, so any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
