Editando esquemas XML

  • Artigo

A edição de um esquema XML é um dos recursos mais importantes do SOM (Schema Object Model). Todas as propriedades de pré-compilação de esquema do SOM podem ser usadas para alterar os valores existentes em um esquema XML. O esquema XML pode então ser recompilado para refletir as alterações.

A primeira etapa na edição de um esquema carregado no SOM é percorrer o esquema. Você deve estar familiarizado com a passagem de um esquema usando a API SOM antes de tentar editar um esquema. Você também deve estar familiarizado com as propriedades de compilação pré e pós-esquema do Post-Schema-Compilation-Infoset (PSCI).

Editando um esquema XML

Nesta seção, dois exemplos de código são fornecidos, ambos editam o esquema do cliente criado no tópico Building XML Schemas . O primeiro exemplo de código adiciona um novo PhoneNumber elemento ao Customer elemento e o segundo exemplo de código adiciona um novo Title atributo ao FirstName elemento . O primeiro exemplo também usa a coleção post-schema-compilation XmlSchema.Elements como o meio de percorrer o esquema do cliente, enquanto o segundo exemplo de código usa a coleção pre-schema-compilation XmlSchema.Items .

Exemplo de elemento PhoneNumber

Este primeiro exemplo de código adiciona um novo PhoneNumber elemento ao Customer elemento do esquema do cliente. O exemplo de código edita o esquema do cliente nas etapas a seguir.

  1. Adiciona o esquema do cliente a um novo XmlSchemaSet objeto e, em seguida, compila-o. Todos os avisos de validação de esquema e erros encontrados lendo ou compilando o esquema são manipulados pelo ValidationEventHandler delegado.

  2. Recupera o objeto compilado XmlSchema do XmlSchemaSet iterando sobre a Schemas propriedade. Como o esquema é compilado, as propriedades Post-Schema-Compilation-Infoset (PSCI) são acessíveis.

  3. Cria o PhoneNumber elemento usando a XmlSchemaElement classe, a xs:string restrição de tipo simples usando as XmlSchemaSimpleType classes and XmlSchemaSimpleTypeRestriction , adiciona uma faceta de padrão à Facets propriedade da restrição e adiciona a restrição à Content propriedade do tipo simples e o tipo simples à SchemaType do PhoneNumber elemento.

  4. Itera sobre cada XmlSchemaElement um na Values coleção da coleção post-schema-compilation XmlSchema.Elements .

  5. Se o QualifiedName do elemento for "Customer", obtém o Customer tipo complexo do elemento usando a XmlSchemaComplexType classe e a partícula de sequência do tipo complexo usando a XmlSchemaSequence classe.

  6. Adiciona o novo PhoneNumber elemento à sequência que contém os elementos e LastName existentes FirstName usando a coleção pre-schema-compilation Items da sequência.

  7. Finalmente, reprocessa e compila o objeto modificado XmlSchema usando os Reprocess métodos e Compile da XmlSchemaSet classe e grava-o no console.

A seguir está o exemplo de código completo.

A seguir está o esquema de cliente modificado criado no tópico Building XML Schemas .

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:tns="http://www.tempuri.org" targetNamespace="http://www.tempuri.org" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element name="Customer">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="FirstName" type="xs:string" />
        <xs:element name="LastName" type="tns:LastNameType" />
        <xs:element name="PhoneNumber">           <xs:simpleType>             <xs:restriction base="xs:string">               <xs:pattern value="\d{3}-\d{3}-\d(4)" />             </xs:restriction>           </xs:simpleType>         </xs:element>
      </xs:sequence>
      <xs:attribute name="CustomerId" type="xs:positiveInteger" use="required" />
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
  <xs:simpleType name="LastNameType">
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:maxLength value="20" />
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:schema>

Exemplo de atributo de título

Este segundo exemplo de código adiciona um novo Title atributo ao FirstName elemento do esquema do cliente. No primeiro exemplo de código, o tipo do FirstName elemento é xs:string. Para que o elemento tenha um atributo junto com o FirstName conteúdo da cadeia de caracteres, seu tipo deve ser alterado para um tipo complexo com um modelo de conteúdo de extensão de conteúdo simples.

O exemplo de código edita o esquema do cliente nas etapas a seguir.

  1. Adiciona o esquema do cliente a um novo XmlSchemaSet objeto e, em seguida, compila-o. Todos os avisos de validação de esquema e erros encontrados lendo ou compilando o esquema são manipulados pelo ValidationEventHandler delegado.

  2. Recupera o objeto compilado XmlSchema do XmlSchemaSet iterando sobre a Schemas propriedade. Como o esquema é compilado, as propriedades Post-Schema-Compilation-Infoset (PSCI) são acessíveis.

  3. Cria um novo tipo complexo para o FirstName elemento usando a XmlSchemaComplexType classe.

  4. Cria uma nova extensão de conteúdo simples, com um tipo base de xs:string, usando as XmlSchemaSimpleContent classes e XmlSchemaSimpleContentExtension .

  5. Cria o novo Title atributo usando a XmlSchemaAttribute classe, com um SchemaTypeName de e adiciona o atributo à extensão de xs:string conteúdo simples.

  6. Define o modelo de conteúdo do conteúdo simples para a extensão de conteúdo simples e o modelo de conteúdo do tipo complexo para o conteúdo simples.

  7. Adiciona o novo tipo complexo à coleção pre-schema-compilation XmlSchema.Items .

  8. Itera sobre cada XmlSchemaObject um na coleção pre-schema-compilation XmlSchema.Items .

Nota

Como o FirstName elemento não é um elemento global no esquema, ele não está disponível nas XmlSchema.Items coleções or XmlSchema.Elements . O exemplo de código localiza o FirstName elemento localizando primeiro o Customer elemento .

O primeiro exemplo de código percorreu o esquema usando a coleção post-schema-compilation XmlSchema.Elements . Neste exemplo, a coleção pre-schema-compilation XmlSchema.Items é usada para percorrer o esquema. Embora ambas as coleções forneçam acesso aos elementos globais no esquema, a iteração através da coleção é mais demorada Items porque você deve iterar sobre todos os elementos globais no esquema e ele não tem nenhuma propriedade PSCI. As coleções PSCI (XmlSchema.Elements, XmlSchema.Attributes, XmlSchema.SchemaTypes, e assim por diante) fornecem acesso direto aos seus elementos, atributos e tipos globais e suas propriedades PSCI.

  1. Se o XmlSchemaObject é um elemento, cujo QualifiedName é "Customer", obtém o Customer tipo complexo do elemento usando a XmlSchemaComplexType classe e a partícula de sequência do tipo complexo usando a XmlSchemaSequence classe.

  2. Itera sobre cada XmlSchemaParticle um na coleção pre-schema-compilation XmlSchemaSequence.Items .

  3. Se o XmlSchemaParticle é um elemento, quem é QualifiedName"FirstName", define o SchemaTypeName do elemento para o FirstName novo FirstName tipo complexo.

  4. Finalmente, reprocessa e compila o objeto modificado XmlSchema usando os Reprocess métodos e Compile da XmlSchemaSet classe e grava-o no console.

A seguir está o exemplo de código completo.
