Hi guys,

I have a global xsd with common elements such as menu-item which I want to import into other xsds.  I know there are numerous posts on this but I cant seem to get it work. 

Here is the xsd I want to include:  This is placed at the Root of my webproject:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
   xmlns:na="http://www.nissan.com.au/alfresco"
   xmlns:alf="http://www.alfresco.org"
   targetNamespace="http://www.nissan.com.au/alfresco"
   elementFormDefault="qualified">

   <xs:complexType name="link">
       <xs:sequence>
         <xs:element name="label" type="xs:normalizedString" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
         <xs:element name="path" type="xs:anyURI" />
         <xs:element name="open_in_new_window" type="xs:boolean" default="false"/> 
       </xs:sequence>
   </xs:complexType>
   
   <xs:complexType name="vertical_navigation">
         <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="heading" type="xs:normalizedString" />
            <xs:element name="menu_item" type="na:link" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="8" />         
         </xs:sequence>
   </xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Here is the xsd that includes the above xsd.  Note it tries to include the vertical_navigation complex type from the above xsd:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
   xmlns:alf="http://www.alfresco.org"
   xmlns:na="http://www.nissan.com.au/alfresco"
   elementFormDefault="qualified">
   
   <xs:import namespace="http://www.nissan.com.au/alfresco" schemaLocation="nissanmarketing_global.xsd"/>
   
   <xs:element name="model_series">
      <xs:complexType>
         <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="navigation" type="na:vertical_navigation" />
         </xs:sequence>
      </xs:complexType>
   </xs:element>
</xs:schema>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Has anyone got an example of this.  Would like to view the included xsd and the xsd it is included in. 

Note: I have read all the following:

and anything else I can find on the subject I could find on the forums. 

Many thanks,

I too would like to be able to do this, helps to reuse code

I've tried what boneill tried and had no luck too.

I also tried:

&nbsp; <xs:include schemaLocation="/common-xsd.xsd"/>‍

and uploaded common-xsd.xsd to the root of my web project. But no joy.

How would I include a common XSD file? Can I store my common files in a seperate space? How do I get a reference to them for inclusion.

Any help would be appreciated.
