How to Define a Namespace for an XML Schema

Previous Next

To define a Namespace for an XML schema:

1.From the Define, Web Services Provider menu, select Namespaces.
2.Define a Namespace Alias to be used as prefix when exchanging data with the client application.
3.Define a Namespace to identify the URI reference.
4.Optionally, for the XML schema definition that you provide, define a Location.

By default, when installing USoft, one Namespace is already defined for standard data types recommended by W3C:

Alias = xsd

Namespace = http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema

This default Namespace supports all simple datatypes, like strings, integers, decimals and date/time datatypes. For this default Namespace, no location has to be specified.
