# XML Schema include Element

Complete XML Schema Reference

## Definition and Usage

The include element is used to add multiple schemas with the same target namespace to a document.

### Element Information

- Parent elements: schema

### Syntax

    <include
    id=ID
    schemaLocation=anyURI
    any attributes
    >

    (annotation?)

    </include>

(The ? sign declares that the element can occur zero or one time inside the include element)

Attribute | Description
--- | ---
id | Optional. Specifies a unique ID for the element
schemaLocation | Required. Specifies the URI to the schema to include in the target namespace of the containing schema
any attributes | Optional. Specifies any other attributes with non-schema namespace

### Example 1

With included schemas, the included files must all reference the same target namespace. If the schema target namespace don't match, the include won't work:

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    targetNamespace="http://www.w3schools.com/schema">

    <xs:include schemaLocation="http://www.w3schools.com/schema/customer.xsd"/>
    <xs:include schemaLocation="http://www.w3schools.com/schema/company.xsd"/>

    ..

    ..

    ..

    </xs:schema>

WAPT is able to generate up to 3000 simultaneously acting virtual users using standard hardware configuration. Virtual users in each profile are fully customizable. Basic and NTLM authentication methods are supported. Graphs and reports are shown in real-time at different levels of detail, thus helping to manage the testing process.
