Convert schema file to schema object saved in repository

Last modified 14 Jan 2025 22:14 +01:00

From midPoint 4.9, the schema extension is stored in the database. Version before midPoint 4.9 use the schema extension as the XSD file in the midPoint home directory.

So we need a procedure to convert the schema from the xsd file to the SchemaType object. This procedure is a very simple shortcut, just paste schema from xsd file into the attribute definition that contains the SchemaType. Finally, we import a new SchemaType object into midPoint.

Example

The following example shows a schema extension for user that adds one new attributes. Example is in xsd file format.

Schema from file

<xsd:schema elementFormDefault="qualified"
        targetNamespace="http://example.com/xml/ns/mySchema"
	    xmlns:tns="http://example.com/xml/ns/mySchema"
	    xmlns:a="http://prism.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/annotation-3"
	    xmlns:c="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3"
	    xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
	<xsd:complexType name="UserExtensionType">
		<xsd:annotation>
			<xsd:appinfo>
				<a:extension ref="c:UserType"/>
			</xsd:appinfo>
		</xsd:annotation>
		<xsd:sequence>
			<xsd:element name="officeNumber" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1">
				<xsd:annotation>
					<xsd:appinfo>
						<a:indexed>true</a:indexed>
						<a:displayName>office number</a:displayName>
						<a:displayOrder>120</a:displayOrder>
					</xsd:appinfo>
				</xsd:annotation>
			</xsd:element>
		</xsd:sequence>
	</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

New SchemaType object prepare for import into midPoint.

Schema from file

<schema>
    <name>UserExtension</name>
    <definition>
        <xsd:schema elementFormDefault="qualified"
                targetNamespace="http://example.com/xml/ns/mySchema"
                xmlns:tns="http://example.com/xml/ns/mySchema"
                xmlns:a="http://prism.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/annotation-3"
                xmlns:c="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3"
                xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

            <xsd:complexType name="UserExtensionType">
                <xsd:annotation>
                    <xsd:appinfo>
                        <a:extension ref="c:UserType"/>
                    </xsd:appinfo>
                </xsd:annotation>
                <xsd:sequence>
                    <xsd:element name="officeNumber" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1">
                        <xsd:annotation>
                            <xsd:appinfo>
                                <a:indexed>true</a:indexed>
                                <a:displayName>office number</a:displayName>
                                <a:displayOrder>120</a:displayOrder>
                            </xsd:appinfo>
                        </xsd:annotation>
                    </xsd:element>
                </xsd:sequence>
            </xsd:complexType>
        </xsd:schema>
    </definition>
</schema>
