XML validation against an XSD fails in Oracle but it gets validated in XMLSpy

XSD is registered in oracle. Using XMLTYPE.schemavalidate to validate an XML against the registered XSD. The API gives an error as "LSX-00295: field element "item" is开发者_如何学运维 not a simple type". But the same XML file with the same XSD gets validated fine in Altova XMLSpy. Somehow oracle is giving the complex type error.

Anonymous script is as below:

declare
lxml  XMLTYPE;
l_err varchar2(4000);
l_transformxml CLOB:='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Apparently the schema defines item as an element with a simpleType, which means it cannot contain attributes.

<item index="2">a</item>
