schema question

[lfc77]

I have an element in my schema <service> which has an attribute called "type". So you can have <service type="request">, <service type="change"> etc. Request and Change both have different sets of tags in them. I have written a schema for where type=change (see below), but I'm not sure how to add Request to it. Can anybody help me out?

<xs:element name="service">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="info" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="number" type="xs:long" minOccurs="1" />
<xs:element name="subcug" type="xs:long" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="pay" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="currency" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="language" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="cash" type="xs:float" minOccurs="0" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="type" use="required">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="change" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:attribute>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

Just add another enumeration value for your type attribute.

Chip,

But how and where do I add the structure of what is acceptable within the tag?

This is allowed in the <service type="request"> :

<service type="request">
<type>ukgeo</type>
<area>441280</area>
<pay>card</pay>
</service>

And this for the <service type="change"> :

<service type="change">
<info>
<number>441173060201</number>
<subcug>1234</subcug>
<pay>card</pay>
<currency>gbp</currency>
<language>eng</language>
<cash>20.00</cash>
</info>
</service>

There can only be 1 service type per XML document.


Thanks,
