XSD help

Hi all

I have a config file like so

<config>
<optionSet1>
<option index="1" name="Set 1 index 1"/>
</optionSet1>
<optionSet1>
<option index="1" name="Set 2 index 2"/>
</optionSet1>
</config>
optionSet1-index1 can only have set values 1, 3, 5, 7

How do I define XSD for optionSet2-index1 so that

if optionSet1-index1 is in 1, 5 then it must be null
if optionSet1-index1 == 3 then it must be A or B
if optionSet1-index1 == 7 then it must be B, C or D
Thank you very much!

Hi Peter,

You cannot do this using Xml Schema - it does not have this type of
co-occurance constraints.

Thanks for the answer. I think this is a shame, XSD could have been an
excellent means of specifying user input + validation for thin clients.

That role was delegated to XML Forms.

You can embed Schematron rules in an XSD schema to specify co-occurrence
constraints and layer over XSD validation. For more information on
schematron,
take a look at:

Thanks,
Priya
