importing XSD in web forms

[unmeshjoshi]

Hi,

We are trying to include a XSD file from the home directory to alfresco template. We have shared.xsd in alfresco home and we are importing it in other xsds for webforms.
If we import XSD as,

<xs:import schemaLocation="/shared.xsd" namespace="http://www.myhome.com'/>

Alfresco somehow replaces it as following.

<xs:import namespace="http://www.myhome.com" schemaLocation="http://user-name.company-home.www--sandbox.127-0-0-1.ip.alfrescodemo.net:8180/shared.xsd'/>

And we can not create the content, because it can not resolve elements in shared.xsd. Anyone knows how to import XSDs in webforms?

Thanks,
Unmesh

Hi,

Looking at the alfresco source code, I found following
// It's a web project asset include / import
               final String baseURI = (uri.charAt(0) == '/'
                                       ? AVMUtil.getPreviewURI(AVMUtil.getStoreName(cwdAvmPath))
                                       : AVMUtil.getPreviewURI(cwdAvmPath));

               finalURI = baseURI + uri;

So alfresco replaces inline callouts with preview url.

I tried previewing the shared XSD file from alfresco web UI. But I am unable to. When I click on "preview" icon, it opens up browser with following url

http://user.webproject.www--sandbox.127-0-0-1.ip.alfrescodemo.net:8180/services/shared.xsd

If I click on the file directly. (not the 'preview' button), it opens up the file correctly with following url in browser
http://localhost:8180/alfresco/d/d/avm/webproject--user/-1;www;avm_webapps;services;shared.xsd/share...

Is this a bug with alfresco? Or we need to do some setting so that preview urls are correctly generated, so that inline includes/imports work in WCM?

I am using alfresco version 2.2

Thanks,
Unmesh

Well I needed to start virtualization server. I do not know if its documented anywhere.

If you need to import/include local XSD in webforms, you need to start virtualization server.
A simple looking XSD import like
<xs:include schemaLocation="/shared.xsd">
gets translated to
<xs:include schemaLocation="http://admin.webproject.www--sandbox.127.0.0.1.ip.alfrescodemo.net:8180/shared.xsd'/>

Only after you start the virtualization server (./virtual_start.sh), this works.
