Ability to rename a complexType/@name inside XML Schema.

[angelozerr]

With the XSD file:

<?xml version="1.1" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
	 
	<xs:element name="employee" type="personinfo">
		  
	</xs:element>
	
	<xs:complexType name="personinfo">
		<xs:sequence> 
			<xs:element name="firstname" type="xs:string" />
			<xs:element name="lastname" type="xs:string" />
		</xs:sequence>
	</xs:complexType>
	
	<xs:complexType name="fullpersoninfo">
		<xs:complexContent>
			<xs:extension base="personinfo">
				<xs:sequence>
					<xs:element name="address" type="xs:string" />
					<xs:element name="city" type="xs:string" />
					<xs:element name="country" type="xs:string" />
				</xs:sequence>
			</xs:extension>
		</xs:complexContent>
	</xs:complexType>
	
</xs:schema>

If we rename <xs:complexType name="personinfo"> to <xs:complexType name="XXXX"> we should have

<?xml version="1.1" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
	 
	<xs:element name="employee" type="XXXX">
		  
	</xs:element>
	
	<xs:complexType name="XXXX">
		<xs:sequence> 
			<xs:element name="firstname" type="xs:string" />
			<xs:element name="lastname" type="xs:string" />
		</xs:sequence>
	</xs:complexType>
	
	<xs:complexType name="fullpersoninfo">
		<xs:complexContent>
			<xs:extension base="XXXX">
				<xs:sequence>
					<xs:element name="address" type="xs:string" />
					<xs:element name="city" type="xs:string" />
					<xs:element name="country" type="xs:string" />
				</xs:sequence>
			</xs:extension>
		</xs:complexContent>
	</xs:complexType>
	
</xs:schema>

For this feature, is it possible for the references (the values that are being renamed) to be located in different files?

Currently, I am using XSDUtils.searchXSOriginAttributes() to find locations that need to be renamed.

Yes it will possible, but it will not supported for the moment. It's like other features with references, find definitions which works only in the file scope and not in external files. It should be improved in #484

So please continue to use XSDUtils.searchXSOriginAttributes() and when we will support #484, your rename should continue to work.
