How to define a sequence of elements with same name but different types in XML Schema?
Just to be concise I want to obtain something like this:
<root>
<field value="..." text="...">fixed_value1</field>
<field value="..." text="...">fixed_value2</field>
<field value="..." text="...">fixed_value3</field>
<!-- in some cases we can choose the «fixed_value» among different ones -->
...
<field value="..." text="...">fixed_valueN</field>
</root>
I tried different ways but it seems quite impossible to achive that, because XML Schema does not allow to set a list of elements with the same name, but different types (Simple or Complex doesn't matter...). Is it right? There's no other way to define a structure like above?
EDIT: maybe I have to explain it a little bit better. Between the open and close tag of element «field» there must be a value defined by the XML Schema (in other words f开发者_如何转开发or the user it's not possible to write something different from the fixed_value). Another example:
<root>
<field value="Ferrari" text="company">Car</field>
<!-- but it could be Van or Motorcycle or Plane -->
<field value="12300000" text="euro">Cost</field>
<!-- here instead it's only possible to choose «Cost» -->
<field value="Red" text="">Color</field>
<!-- same as above -->
</root>
Is that possible? Thanks in advance!
Try the following XSD:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema id="root" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="root">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="field" nillable="true">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:string">
<xs:attribute name="value" type="xs:string" />
<xs:attribute name="text" type="xs:string" />
</xs:extension>
</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
