how to use restrictions and extensions in XSD simultanously

[Dmitry Kulinich]

Guys! I've got 1 more small problem with XSD. It simple and good, but
sometimes disappointing.
For example we have 3 <THtags - only text and 1 attribute.
Then we need <restriction>-<enumerationto set all <th>'s text values, but
also <extensionto add 1 attribute
How to do it simultanously inside og 1 element?
Here is simple code in XSD:
<xsd:element name="TH" >

<xsd:complexType>

<xsd:simpleContent>

<xsd:extension base="xsd:string">

<!--xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">

<xsd:enumeration value="Process ID"/>

<xsd:enumeration value="Activity ID"/>

<xsd:enumeration value="Instance ID"/>

<xsd:enumeration value="Process Description"/>

</xsd:restriction-->

<xsd:attribute name="style" type="xsd:string" />

</xsd:extension>
</xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>

</xsd:element>

Thank you,

In XSD schema you have to do it in two stages. Define the body type
of the TH element (as a simple type), and then extend it to add the
attribute. e.g.:

<xsd:simpleType name="THType">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="Process ID"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="Activity ID"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="Instance ID"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="Process Description"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

<xsd:element name="TH" >
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:simpleContent>
<xsd:extension base="THType">
<xsd:attribute name="style" type="xsd:string" />
</xsd:extension>
</xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

Thank you, Pete! It's really simple )))
Could you answer one more question please - how to define few <tdtags with
different types
(means - tags with the same name but with the different type. A've tried to
set node type in restrictions but it doesn't works )

If the types are all simple types, then you can use schema's xs:union
construct. e.g.:

<xs:simpleType name="TDType">
<xs:union memberTypes="xs:float xs:int xs:string"/>
</xs:simpleType>

Normally you would put the most restricted type first, followed by
progressively less restricted types. i.e. all integers could be
represented in a string, but not all strings are valid integers.

If you want different complex types, thn I'm afraid you are out of
luck with XSD schema as it is defined today!

HTH,

Pete.

Ooops - which means I should flip xs:int and xs:float around! e.g.

<xs:simpleType name="TDType">
<xs:union memberTypes="xs:int xs:float xs:string"/>
</xs:simpleType>

Just testing!!!

unfortunately I needed this solution 4 the complex type
anyhow, thank you very mush!!!

Then I'm afraid, as far as XSD schema is concerned, you are left with
defining the superset of all the types.

Some people add schematron constraints to the XSD definition to select
the correct forms at runtime, but I'm not sure many tools support that
approach.

Relax-NG, an alternative schema language, has support for this sort of
thing, but I'm not sure how widely supported that is either (libxml2
has some support for it).

HTH,

Pete.
