Namespace in XML schema

[smithatt]

Hi All,
I have just started working with XML. I wanted one of u to help me with an example for namespace defined in schema(xsd) and used in XML.

I am using sax parser for validating the XML doc.

I feel I am not able to make out the value to be specified in "targetNamespace."
please post the example.
thx in advance

In addition to specifying the 'targetNamespace' attribute in the xs:schema, our parser always insists on our also specifying 'xmlns' equal to the same value. That way it assumes all elements below are in the given namespace unless otherwise prefixed. Of course, all schema elements now require a prefix, such as 'xs'.

<xs:schema targetNamespace=&quot;

http://happy/namespace&quot;

xmlns=&quot;

http://happy/namespace&quot;

xmlns:xs=&quot;

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema&quot;

elementFormDefault=&quot;qualified&quot;>
<xs:element name=&quot;OnlyOne&quot; type=&quot;xs:string&quot;/>
</xs:schema>

Hope this helps.
