Add a schemaLocation property to the header of the XML

aapxp — Tue, 01 Sep 2015 13:10:55 GMT

To create my forms I am using IP2007. Because the people who should use that form are working also with 2007.

At the moment I have the problem that I am not able to add the schema location into my XML head in combination with the xsn file. I am able to change that property, when I am working with the source files. But when I am saving everything with InfoPath as an xsn file, all changes don't work any more.

That is what I want to have:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<MyXML xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.myXML.org/XMLSchema/4.0.1" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.myXML.org/XMLSchema/4.0.1 MySchema4.0.1.xsd">

And this is what I get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
[...]
<ns1:MyXML xmlns:altova="http://www.altova.com/xml-schema-extensions" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ns1="http://www.myXML.org/XMLSchema/4.0.1" xmlns:xd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003">

The schemaLocation property is important for the validation of the XML. Without that information e.g. Altova XML Spy can not validate the file.

I searched for solutions, but I didn't found anything that works. Is there an easy way to solve this in IP2007 or a newer version?
