Error description

• In IBM Rational Software Architect (RSA), if you run a
  UML-to-XSD transformation, an 'include' statement will contain
  an empty 'schemaLocation'.
  
  The following steps recreate the problem:
  
  1. Create a UML project ? UML model and include a folder with
  the project
  
  2. Apply the 'XSD Transformation' profile to the model
  
  3. Add two packages to the model and apply the 'schema'
  stereotype to both of them
  
  4. Add a class to each of the packages
  
  5. Add some XSD types to each of the packages
  
  6. Add a UML-to-XSD transformation configuration to the project
  
  7. Select the two schemas (packages) as the 'Source' of the
  transformation configuration and the folder from Step 1 as the
  'Target'
  
  8. Configure the 'Output Options' table in the transformation
  configuration, such that the XSDs for both schemas are generated
  into the same file
  
  9. Run the transformation and examine the resulting XSD file
  
  RESULT: The following line will appear in the XSD file:
  
  [?BEGIN CODE?]
  '?xsd:include schemaLocation=''/?'
  [?/END CODE?]
  
  which should not have been generated.
  
  Workaround:
  Remove the 'include' statement manually from the XSD file.

  ****************************************************************
  In UML-to-XSD/WSDL transformation, user have the option to
  generate combined schema for multiple packages. User can
  create a map in the transformation configuration editor
  indicating which package content whould be generated where.
  In such a scenarion where multiple packages are mapped to
  the same destination file, transformation generates an
  "include" statement with an empty "schemaLocation".
  

Problem conclusion

• The referenced schema in this scenarion happens to be in the
  same file and thus a "include" statement with an empty
  "schemaLocation" gets generated. A check has been put not to
  generate the same in this kind of scenarions.
