Hi there,
I'm having a problem analysing a complex type hierarchy using the API -
below are the complex type definitions I'm using. As you can see,
USAddress derives from Address, and NYAddress derives from USAddress.
The problem I'm encountering is when analysing a derived complex type. In
the attribute uses, I get all the attributes from the subtype and its base
type(s). However, as far as element declarations go, I only get the ones
from this particular type - which in the case of the NY address is none.
To get these I have to look at the base type definitions.
This seems fair enough in some ways, but the fact that the attributes do
appear in the attribute uses list seems to contradict this approach. Does
anyone have any ideas why this approach has been taken, or is it a flaw?
<xs:complexType name="Address">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="street" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="city" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="Person" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="USAddress">
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="Address">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="state" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="zip" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="Surname" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="NYAddress">
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="USAddress">
<xs:attribute name="RentControlled" type="xs:boolean"/>
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
Many thanks for your help,
Ray
