Error generating code from FixML 5.0 SP2

Question

I'm using the Fix standard as the source (file fixml-main-5-0-SP2.xsd).

I get the following error when trying to generate C# code using Liquid XML Data Binder:

"The namespace 'http://www.fixprotocol.org/FIXML-5-0-SP2/METADATA'
provided differs from the schema's targetNamespace
'http://www.fixprotocol.org/FIXML-5-0-SP2'."

What is wrong?

Answer 1

The FixML standard appears to contain a small error.

All the schemas contain the attribute xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.fixprotocol.org/FIXML-5-0-SP2/METADATA fixml-metadata-5-0-SP2.xsd"

However the document "fixml-metadata-5-0-SP2.xsd" has a targetnamespace of "http://www.fixprotocol.org/FIXML-5-0-SP2" not "http://www.fixprotocol.org/FIXML-5-0-SP2/METADATA" as stated in the schemaLocation.

Changing the targetnamespace in the file "fixml-metadata-5-0-SP2.xsd" to "http://www.fixprotocol.org/FIXML-5-0-SP2/METADATA" resolves the issue.

If you are in contact with the FixML team I would suggest you notify them of the change required.
