JiBx error when inlcuding other schema - jibx

Question

Here is the schema I am using for JiBx to codegen and bind.
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.abc.com/abc/service/APIService" targetNamespace="http://www.abc.com/abc/service/Service" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" version="2.0">
<xs:include schemaLocation="OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQ.xsd"/>
<xs:include schemaLocation="OTA_AirLowFareSearchRS.xsd"/>
<xs:element name="APIRequest">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQ"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="version" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
<xs:attribute name="bdmVersion" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="APIResponse">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation xml:lang="en">All Schema files in the OTA specification are made available according to the terms defined by the OTA License Agreement at http://www.opentravel.org/ota_downloads_form.cfm</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:element ref="OTA_AirLowFareSearchRS"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
and this is the error I am getting when trying to generate code.
ERROR codegen.CodeGen - Error: Referenced element '{http://www.abc.com/abc/service/APIService}:OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQ' is not defined for 'element' at (line 11, col 47, in APIService.xsd).
Any help is highly appreciated.

Narayanan,
Your xml namespaces are incorrect. Your error message is telling you what is wrong. '{http://www.abc.com/abc/service/APIService}:OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQ' is not defined, because OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQ is in the {http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2003/05} namespace.
The correction is simple, either include the element from the correct namespace, or more simply place your schema in the opentravel name space. Here is your corrected schema definition:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2003/05"
targetNamespace="http://www.abc.com/abc/service/Service"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
version="2.0">
<xs:include schemaLocation="http://www.opentravel.org/2011A/OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQ.xsd"/>
<xs:include schemaLocation="http://www.opentravel.org/2011A/OTA_AirLowFareSearchRS.xsd"/>
<xs:element name="APIRequest">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="OTA_AirLowFareSearchRQ"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="version" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
<xs:attribute name="bdmVersion" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="APIResponse">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation xml:lang="en">All Schema files in the OTA specification are made available according to the terms defined by the OTA License Agreement at http://www.opentravel.org/ota_downloads_form.cfm</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:element ref="OTA_AirLowFareSearchRS"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
I tested this with JiBX and it Should work fine now!
