Do Spring.NET and Common.Logging XML schemas (XSD) exist?

Question

Spring.NET 1.2.0 M1 comes with several XSD files for the <objects> node, database stuff, etc. However, it is an incomplete collection because it does not seem to include <spring> (used in App.config), <context>, or <parsers> elements. Additionally, Common.Logging doesn't appear to have any XSD's included in the source or distribution.

We'd like to have these so that Visual Studio won't complain about them on compile time when it validates the App.config. It's nice having the schemas in place, because of the compile-time check which helps you find XML bugs before your program throws up in Spring.

Do these exist anywhere / are in development or, alternatively, has anyone written some themselves?

On the same token, has anyone seen/resolved the following message?

Could not find schema information for the attribute 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/Visual-Studio-Intellisense:friendlyname' (spring-objects-1.1.xsd)

Answer 1

Have you tried using the XSD tool to reverse engineer an XML output file into the XSD you need? I did something similar when writing my own tool for log4net to get an XSD file.

Answer 2

Hi, They don't exist for or or the other top level elements that are used in App.config. Please enter a JIRA issue for Spring here as well as for Common Logging - here.
