Having trouble putting together Image Sitemap XSD according google specs
I currently have a sitemap configuration for our website, however I’m trying to add the images according google sitemap specification.
Here’s how it looks like today:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> <url> <loc>https://www.example.com/</loc> </url> <url> <loc>https://www.example.com/category/something</loc> </url> <url> <loc>https://www.example.com/category/something2</loc> </url> </urlset> And how it should look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:image="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1"> <url> <loc>http://example.com/</loc> <image:image> <image:loc>http://example.com/image.jpg</image:loc> </image:image> <image:image> <image:loc>http://example.com/photo.jpg</image:loc> </image:image> </url> </urlset> According to google’s documentation (https://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1/) I need to use the core sitemap for the core elements (the one I’m still using) and use a the image one for image elements.
That’s the tricky part for me – it looks very simple to do it, but I’m not that skilled to achieve that.
I managed to do that in my XSD file (I’m using jabx plugin):
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:image="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1" targetNamespace="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" elementFormDefault="qualified"> <xsd:import namespace="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1" schemaLocation="image.xsd"/> <xsd:element name="urlset"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="url" type="tUrl" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> <xsd:complexType name="tUrl"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="loc" type="tLoc"/> <xsd:element name="lastmod" type="tLastmod" minOccurs="0"/> <xsd:element name="changefreq" type="tChangeFreq" minOccurs="0"/> <xsd:element name="priority" type="tPriority" minOccurs="0"/> <xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="image:image"/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> <!-- and goes on --> This makes it work, but it scrambles the namespaces – the image elements don’t have the namespace image, and the core elements receive a random namespace ns2:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <ns2:urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1" xmlns:ns2="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> <ns2:url> <ns2:loc>https://www.example.com/</ns2:loc> <ns2:changefreq>daily</ns2:changefreq> <ns2:priority>0.7</ns2:priority> </ns2:url> <ns2:url> <ns2:loc>https://www.example.com/category/example1</ns2:loc> <ns2:changefreq>daily</ns2:changefreq> <ns2:priority>0.7</ns2:priority> <image> <loc>https://www.example.com/images/ẗest.jpg</loc> <caption>test</caption> <title>test</title> </image> <image> <loc>https://www.example.com/images/ẗest2.jpg</loc> <caption>test2</caption> <title>test2</title> </image> </ns2:url> </ns2:urlset> I’m running out of ideas. What am I doing wrong?
Not sure if there was another way of doing this, but I fixed the prefix by creating a namespace mapper:
public class DefaultNamespacePrefixMapper extends NamespacePrefixMapper { private Map<String, String> namespaceMap = new HashMap<>(); /** * Create mappings. */ public DefaultNamespacePrefixMapper() { namespaceMap.put("http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9", ""); namespaceMap.put("http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1", "image"); } @Override public String getPreferredPrefix(String namespaceUri, String suggestion, boolean requirePrefix) { return namespaceMap.getOrDefault(namespaceUri, suggestion); } } And when using the marshaller, I simply set:
Marshaller m = context.createMarshaller(); DefaultNamespacePrefixMapper mapper = new DefaultNamespacePrefixMapper(); m.setProperty("com.sun.xml.internal.bind.namespacePrefixMapper", mapper); My XML looks correct exactly the same way as google documentation.
