I need my BizTalk map to stop converting xml:lang to ns1:lang
- by Jeremy Stein
I have a map in BizTalk 2009 that is converting some data into an XML document to be sent on to another system. The target schema includes some elements with xml:lang attributes. BizTalk generates those as ns1:lang. The target system requires that the prefix xml be used.
Here is a simplified example to show what BizTalk is doing:
sample.xsd
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://example.com/"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:import schemaLocation="common.xsd"
namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" />
<xs:element name="example">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute ref="xml:lang" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
common.xsd
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
targetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:attribute name="lang" type="xs:language" />
</xs:schema>
Example of map output
<ns0:example xmlns:ns0="http://example.com/"
xmlns:ns1="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
ns1:lang="en-US" />
Is there some way to convince BizTalk to use the xml prefix?
