webPDF Schema Service

This service provides the official, versioned XML schemas (XSD) used by webPDF.

Example URL

/1.0/configuration/application.xsd

• This URL opens a complete schema directly in your browser.
• Use the pattern /<version>/<area>/<schema>.xsd for additional schemas.
• The variant without .xsd is automatically redirected to the canonical URL.

Using xsi:schemaLocation

The example below uses the root element from application.xml, one of the webPDF configuration files.

<application
  xmlns="http://schema.webpdf.de/1.0/configuration/application"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://schema.webpdf.de/1.0/configuration/application https://schema.webpdf.de/1.0/configuration/application.xsd">
  ...
</application>

xsi:schemaLocation consists of pairs: namespace URI and XSD URL.

The schema namespace is a fixed identity and can remain http://..., while the retrievable XSD file can be loaded via https://.... This is independent of the webPDF product version.
