XML Validation with xsd of a generic node

[kurotsuke]

Hi,

I need to validate an xml which contains a tag called

<Trigger>

that contains a structure which I don't know and that I don't want to
validate.

How should indicate in the XSD file that the document can contain a
tag caller <Trigger> but that I don't want to do any validation of its
contents?

Thanks a lot.

The following should do it. Note that it doesn't allow any attributes on
the <Trigger> element.

<xs:element name="Trigger">

<xs:complexType mixed="true">

<xs:sequence>

<xs:any minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" namespace="##any"
processContents="skip"/>

</xs:sequence>

</xs:complexType>

</xs:element>

Worked like a charm. Thank you.
