Help in dateTime Schema pattern

[Nerds]

I declared one element in my XML Schema by restriction base= "xs:dateTime", with the Pattern value as dd/mm/yyyy, when I validate the
XML with this format, it shows the error that the
give value is not valid, so my question is how to change the date format in
XML Schema ??

Thanks

xs:datetime is a specific format, being: 0001-01-01T00:00:00 which corresponds to YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss

I'd use a pattern restriction like so:

<xs:simpleType>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
        <xs:pattern value="([0-9]{2}/){2}[0-9]{4}"/>
    </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

Note, this pattern does not validate number of days in a month etc. If you want that, you need a more complex pattern. eg see http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread728713.html
