Question about XML-Schema choice structure.

[GB]

If I define the following schema which allows either a tag element OR
an tag and origin_system elements I get an error. Same thing happens
when I use groups. Is this because tag is defined twice? My reading of
the XML-Schema spec seems to suggest that the schema is valid & that
Xerces is in error.

I get the error with Java Xerces 2.3.0 but not with C++ Xerces 1.7.0.

Can anyone explain?

Here's the error...

error [4,16] cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content starting with
element 'origin_system' . The content must match
'((("":tag))|(( "":tag),("":ori gin_system)))'.

Here's the schema....

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<xsd:element name="fx" type="fx_type"/>

<xsd:complexTyp e name="fx_type">
<xsd:choice>
<xsd:sequence >
<xsd:element name="tag" type="xsd:strin g" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="1"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:sequence >
<xsd:element name="tag" type="xsd:strin g" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="1"/>
<xsd:element name="origin_sy stem" type="xsd:strin g"
minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:choice>
</xsd:complexType >

</xsd:schema>

Heres the XML...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fx>
<tag>$000000000 2275ABD</tag>
<origin_system> PAB</origin_system>
</fx>
