What is wrong with extending an XML Schema type using xs:all?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns="http://tempuri.org/ServiceDescription.xsd" xmlns:mstns="http://tempuri.org/ServiceDescription.xsd" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/ServiceDescription.xsd" elementFormDefault="qualified" id="ServiceDescription">
<xs:element name="Template">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="ServiceType">
<xs:all>
<xs:element name="TemplateCode" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:all>
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</x开发者_如何学JAVAs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:complexType name="ServiceType">
<xs:all>
<xs:element name="ServiceCode" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:all>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
When I try to save this in XMLSpy it tells me
An 'all' model group is neither allowed in complex type definition 'mstns:ServiceType' nor in its extension '{anonymous}'.
Clicking Details gives a link to a paragraph in XML Schema specification which I do not understand.
Added: Ah, yes, forgot to mention - the line of error is this one:
<xs:element name="TemplateCode" type="xs:string"/>
The problem is you can't have all if you're extending another type. As far as XML knows the parent type might have a sequence model and since XML forbids putting an all group inside of a sequence group (since that would destroy the sequence group's ordering) then XML also forbids putting an all group in an extension of a complex type. You could use sequence instead of all for both though and you'd be fine.
