I'm using the above XSD to validate my xml files which works fine all except for the status tag enumeration restriction.
if I do this:
<status>
not run <!--OR passed OR failed-->
</status>
Validation fails saying that it must contain either [not run,passed,failed]
Could you tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks
The problem comes about because of the spaces/tabs in the xml doc surrounding the enumerated value ie having this " not run " instead of this "not run".
to solve this I changed the XSD file to use the token type rather than the string type to remove the leading and trailing whitespace characters:
<xs:restriction base="xs:token">
<xs:enumeration value="not run"/>
<xs:enumeration value="passed"/>
<xs:enumeration value="failed"/>
</xs:restriction>

What I'm trying to achieve is build an xml structure that will be further used to generate event classes. These events that will be further used for user facing logs.
These events may be simple messages or may contain parameters which can either be base types or enums, under the condition that the any enum type must be local to the event class that uses it.
Let's take the example of an event that reports the temperature of something. It would look somewhat like this:
<SoftwareEvent
EventID="126.042.027"
NiceID="InstrumentControl.TemperatureEvent"
Message="The temperature of the cooling element is {0} of {1}-{2}°C.">
<enumType name="ElementTemperatureStatus" base="int">
<enumValue value="InRange" EnglishMessage="within the acceptable range" />
<enumValue value="OutOfRange" EnglishMessage="outside the acceptable range" />
<enumValue value="AtLowerRangeLimit" EnglishMessage="near the lower limit of the acceptable range" />
<enumValue value="AtUpperRangeLimit" EnglishMessage="near the upper limit of the acceptable range" />
</enumType>
<Parameters>
<Parameter name="temperatureStatus" type="enumeration" enumerationType="ElementTemperatureStatus"/>
<Partameter name="rangeLowerLimit" type="double"/>
<Partameter name="rangeUpperLimit" type="double"/>
</Parameters>
and this xml could be used to generate the event class and related localizable resources.
I also want to use a schema(attached bellow) to enforce this structure and I've been mostly successful however I do have a problem that I can't quite fix.
I would like to know if it's possible to use the xsd schema of such an xml to enforce the enumerationType type of the first event to be one of the enumTypes declared above in the scope of the same SoftwareEvent. And if so, how would one go about doing this?
Here is the xsd I have a this point

Try defining SoftwareEvent/EnumType/EnumValue/#value as a key (scoped, I guess, to SoftwareEvent) and SoftwareEvent/Parameters/Partameter (sic) as a keyref.
When I tried to validate my XSD it gives the error
S4s-elt-invalid-content.1: The Content Of '#AnonType_Apps' Is Invalid.
Element 'sequence' Is Invalid, Misplaced, Or Occurs Too Often.
don't know what should be done

Within a complexType element, the content model comes first and the attribute declarations come last. Move the outermost sequence element to make it the first child of the complex type.
You might want to try finding a syntax-aware editor in which to edit schema documents, to alert you to problems of this kind.
Other syntactic issues in this fragment:
Other complexType elements have the same syntax error of putting their attribute declarations first.
If you want the type of rating to be a restriction of xs:float, then you want it to have a simple type, not a complex type.
Ditto for review_time and review_date.
The pattern on the type of review_time is not a legal regular expression: braces may contain information on the minimum and/or maximum occurrences of (strings matching) a subexpression, in a variety of forms, but they must contain something, so \d{} is not a legal expression. Drop the empty braces, or make it \d{1} if you like, or make it say what you want.
The xs:element element has no attribute named use; I think you may mean to say <xs:element name="reviews" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"> ...
The use attribute does not accept the value optinal.
Get an editor!
Your xs:sequence element needs to follow immidiately on the complexType element.
Your review_date and review_time elements should be a simpleType with a restriction.
If you fix those issues your xsd seems validd.
Of interest is the following xml child element:
<optInItem type='MARKETING_EMAILS'>NO</optInItem>
I'd like to enumerate possible values (assume 2 possible values) for attribute 'type' and enumerate possible values for the text value of optInItem (values could be Yes | No). I am starting with the following xsd but am not sure how to add in the two separate enumerations.
<xs:element name="optInItem" maxOccurs="2" minOccurs="2">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:string">
<xs:attribute type="xs:string" name="type" use="required"/>
</xs:extension>
</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
Any suggestions/pointers would be appreciated.
thanks
After many iterations, it looks like the following does the trick:
<xs:element name="account">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element type="optInItemType" name="optInItem" maxOccurs="2" minOccurs="2">
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:complexType name="optInItemType">
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="elementOptInItemType">
<xs:attribute name="type" type="attrOptInItemType"/>
</xs:extension>
</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:simpleType name="elementOptInItemType">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="YES"/>
<xs:enumeration value="NO"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:simpleType name="attrOptInItemType">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="MARKETING_EMAILS"/>
<xs:enumeration value="UPDATE_NOTIFICATIONS"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
That was a more complicated than I thought it would be. The simpleContent
extension base allowed a user defined type and thus was the key to pulling it
all together.
I'm stuck trying to define an XSD containing a field that can have only one of the following three values:
Green
Red
Blue
Essentially, I want to define a strict enumeration at the Schema level.
My First attempt appears wrong and I'm not sure about the "right" way to fix it.
<xs:element name="color">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice>
<xs:element name="green"/>
<xs:element name="red"/>
<xs:element name="blue"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
By using an automatic XML generator, it treats those element names as string objects:
<xs0:color>
<xs0:green>text</xs0:green>
</xs0:color>
You can define an enumeration within the context of a simpleType.
<xs:simpleType name="color" final="restriction" >
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="green" />
<xs:enumeration value="red" />
<xs:enumeration value="blue" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:element name="SomeElement">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Color" type="color" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
This solution worked for me:
<xs:element name="color">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="green"/>
<xs:enumeration value="red"/>
<xs:enumeration value="blue"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
I have the following XSD:
<xs:complexType name="typeBroken">
<xs:choice>
<xs:element name="B">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:pattern value="FOO|BAR" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="A">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:maxLength value="5" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="B">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:maxLength value="3" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
So, I would like the presence of 'A' to make 'B' to have a different validation. Is this possible? For example:
<test><B>FOO</B></test>
<test><A>HELLO</A><B>BAZ</B><test>
Should both validate. While:
<test><B>BAZ</B></test>
Should NOT validate. However, I am getting from xsd:
cos-element-consistent: Error for type 'typeBroken'. Multiple elements with name 'B', with different types, appear in the model group.
Do I understand your requirements correctly? You want to have a <B>...</B> and optionally an <A>....</A> before that (but not required)?
How about this schema then?
<xs:complexType name="typeBroken">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="A" minOccurs="0">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:maxLength value="5" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="B">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:pattern value="FOO|BAR" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
Define a sequence where the first element, <A>, is optional (minOccurs="0") while the second one is not optional.
Does that solve your requirement?
