Hiya,
I'm tackling a design issue here. The following bit of XML Schema should
help. Is there any way I can tell this schema that one element can be of
different types?
These types actually quite look like the same (i.e.: have the same child
type in common [ZZZ]) except for the set of attributes they are tied to.
Namely, AAA, BBB or CCC may have attributes in common.
<xsd:complexType name="myComplexType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="myElement" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"
type="AAA"/>
-- ideally type="AAA|BBB|CCC"
<!-- some elements -->
</xsd:sequence>
<!-- some attributes -->
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="AAA">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="ZZZ" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<!-- some attributes -->
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="BBB">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="ZZZ" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<!-- some attributes -->
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="CCC">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="ZZZ" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<!-- some attributes -->
</xsd:complexType>
