Do XML Schema imports in .xsd files have significance to Nuxeo?

I have a doctype in a Nuxeo extension like this:

<doctype name="CreativeWork" extends="File">
  <schema name="common" />
  <schema name="dublincore"/>
  <schema name="CreativeWork"/>
</doctype>

And an XML schema like this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://schema.org/CreativeWork"
           xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <xs:import namespace="http://schema.org/Thing" schemaLocation="Thing.xsd"/>
    ...

where the xs:import refers to another schema in the package.

My schemas and doctypes are available in Nuxeo—I checked by using nuxeo-doctypes-io—but I do not see any indication that the fields in Thing.xsd are available to documents with the CreativeWork doctype.

My guess is that Nuxeo does nothing with xs:import, and that if I wish to structure my custom document types like this, it should be done by adding the parent schemas to the doctype declaration. Is this guess correct?

Hi,

Yes you can proceed like this, support of xs:import was added quite recently, it may not be supported depending on your version (added in 5.7.1, see NXP-10984).

If you're using Nuxeo 5.8, maybe it's configuration problem and the tests at the end of this commit could help? https://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo-core/commit/c0687f3f0f94bae834eaa5e199ec9c495ab299fc

Thanks again for your quick answer. I'm working on 5.8 and 5.9, so I'll check my work again to see if I made a mistake or misinterpreted what I was seeing.

You can actually see this work at <https://github.com/courseload/nuxeo-schema-dot-org>, but it is not yet ready for general consumption.

@anahide-tchertchian: I checked again and it is still somewhat of a mismatch between XSD imports and availability of schema elements from within Nuxeo. For example, with the doctype

    &lt;doctype extends=&quot;File&quot; name=&quot;CreativeWork&quot;&gt;
        &lt;schema name=&quot;common&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;schema name=&quot;dublincore&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;schema name=&quot;Thing&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;schema name=&quot;CreativeWork&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;/doctype&gt;

Elements from the Thing schema are available, but with

    &lt;doctype extends=&quot;File&quot; name=&quot;CreativeWork&quot;&gt;
        &lt;schema name=&quot;common&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;schema name=&quot;dublincore&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;schema name=&quot;CreativeWork&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;/doctype&gt;

I receive errors like [org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.el.DocumentModelResolver] Property not found: thing:url even though the XSD files have the imports defined and the contributions to org.nuxeo.ecm.core.schema.TypeService have the prefixes defined.

Hi,

It seems the xs:import only allows you to declare types, not to declare fields (xs:element) that will be present in the schema… I'm not sure about the spec about this (and i haven't tested on my side)
