The schema is not valid because the reference to the QName
'documentBody' is resolved using the default namespace, which is the
XML Schema namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema. The schema
validator looks for an element declaration for
{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}documentBody, and finds none, and
should give an error (XSV, MSV and Xerces-C++ all give an error).
To create a schema for no namespace in which you reference types and
element/attribute declarations, you need to use a prefix for the XML
Schema namespace:
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" >
<xs:element name = "envelope">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref = "documentBody"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name = "documentBody" type="anyType"/>
</xs:schema>
Cheers,
Jeni
