XML Schema is one of many asset models supported by the WSO2 Governance Registry. Read more on Supported APIs & Standards for a complete list of asset models supported by WSO2 Governance Registry.

Users can upload Schemas from user's local file system as a Governance Archive (see Creating a Governance Archive) or import from a given URL.

First Schemas will be validated before storing to the registry. During the schema import process, original Schema will be put into the location where all the Schemas are stored and if there are any other inner Schema imports in the given Schema, those imports also put into the registry through the same Schema import process.

Adding a Schema

Follow the instructions below to add a new Schema to the Governance Registry.

1. Sign in. Enter your user name and password to log on to the Management Console.

2. Click the "Main" button to access the "Metadata" menu.

3. From the left navigation menu, under "Add," in the "Metadata" menu, select "Schema."

4. Select whether to import Schema from URL or upload it from file.

5. If importing from URL was selected, specify the URL of the Schema and its name.

6. If uploading from file was selected, you can upload a single Schema file or a ZIP file (in .zip or .gar extension) containing set of Schema files. See Creating a Governance Archive. Use the "Browse" button to upload a file.

7. Click on the "Add" button.

Schema Validation

WSO2 Governance Registry validates each Schema file during the first addition. It will also validation any Schema imports.

Tip

Validation each Schema file as it is being added can become an expensive operation. Schema validation can be disabled by setting the disableSchemaValidation property to true in the respective handler configurations. The XSDMediaTypeHandler and ZipWSDLMediaTypeHandler support this configuration. The For more information on how to configure handlers please read Handler Configuration Details.

Additional validation rules can be defined using handlers. See Resource Content Validation Sample.
