getting around SOM limitations

[Rein Petersen]

Hey, I love the SOM buuuuuut,

I'm trying to add/read my own namespaced attribute in a node of my
schema without having to jump back and forth from SOM to DOM. I think a
sample is important here because there will certainly be confusion about
what kind of attribute I'm talking about. Here is the schema that I wish
to create dynamically (with SOM):

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="..." xmlns:my="myNs">
<xs:element name="myElement" my:specialAtt="specialVal" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:schema>

Again, I don't want to add a SOM attribute, really it's a DOM attribute
(qualified name) my:specialAtt that I want to add|read as I am
constructing|reading my schema using SOM. You can imagine what a pain it
would be to have to compile and write to a memorystream everytime I want
to access the value stored in the schema element declaration with DOM,
not to mention trying to find the correspoding element that I was
referring to with the SOM ... there has got to be a better way. I don't
want to use annotations - namespacing my own attributes in the places i
need them just seems a million times more elegant to me (if I could get
at them through SOM)

Help...

Try as I might, the SOM just won't allow me to markup a schema with
custom namespace attributes (I'm not referring to xs:attribute...).
I'm stuck with appinfo tags... ahhh the verbosity, the sheer waste of
bandwidth... what a crying shame.

You can add all such attributes to the UnhandledAttributes property on the
XmlSchema object. Read more @
