xsd challenge?

[Claus Konrad]

Hi

I've got an xml-document (instance document) that contains configurationsettings for my system. Now - I would like to create an xsd-schema to validate this document before I use it in my system.

The strucure of the xmldoc is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<securitySection>
<add key="customerLicenseFilePath" value="C:\myprojects\sys\TestLibraryCommon\testCon fig\1.xml" />
<add key="cryptography" value="DES" />
</securitySection>
</configuration>

I would like to ensure that the keys are present with "key"-attributes having the values
(e.g. "customerLicenseFilePath" and "cryptography").

How do I specify using XSD that the keys should be present in the instance document based on this schema?

Thanks in advance.

If all you want to ensure is that the key and value attributes should be
present, then you can mark them as required attributes in the schema:
Sample schema snippet:
<xs:element name="add">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="key" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
<xs:attribute name="value" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

Thanks,
Priya
