Parsers are free to choose their own prefixes (or none at all). Why is
your application dependent on the prefix "ga"? The URI to which this
prefix points is what's important, not the prefix itself.

I have a schema like the following

xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
elementFormDefault="qualified"

xmlns:ga="http://ga.afl.com/";
xmlns:png="http://ga.afl.com/png/";
xmlns:pnr="http://ga.afl.com/pnr/";
xmlns:ct="http://es.afl.com/ct/";>
<xs:import namespace=http://es.aflc.com/ct/ schemaLocation="ct.xsd"/>
<xs:import namespace="http://ga.afl.com/png/";
schemaLocation="Png.xsd"/>
<xs:import namespace="http://ga.afl.com/pnr/";
schemaLocation="Pnr.xsd"/>
<xs:element name="readGroupRequest" type="ga:GroupIdentifierType"/>
<xs:complexType name="GroupIdentifierType">
<xs:choice>
<xs:element name="pngId" type="xs:integer"/>
<xs:element name="batchId" type="png:BatchIDType"/>
<xs:element name="groupNumber" type="ct:GroupNumberType"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
After the schema is compiled I do the following
SchemaType type = ReadGroupRequestDocument.type;
SchemaProperty[] schemaProperties = type.getElementProperties();
for(int i=0; i < schemaProperties.length; i++)
{
SchemaProperty schemaProperty = schemaProperties[i];
QName qName = schemaProperty.getName();
System.out.println("NamespaceURI: " + qName.getNamespaceURI());
System.out.println("LocalPart: " + qName.getLocalPart());
System.out.println("Prefix: " + qName.getPrefix());
}
The output of that code is
NamespaceURI: http://ga.afl.com/
LocalPart: readGroupRequest
Prefix:
What I do not understand is why the prefix is not “ga”. The schema has
this information.
I need to get this information out of the schema because the xml I
generate must have this prefix. I will use XMLOptions
setSaveSuggestedPrefixes() method but I do not want to hardcode a prefix
in my source code. How else can I get the prefix from the schema?
Thanks,
