XSD with a variable subtree definition [message #1819654]

I'm trying to define an XSD to validate the XMLs with a "variable" subtree <DOR_DATA> which you cannot predict in advance its structure.

For example. The <DOR_DATA> subtree could be:

<DOR_DATA><banner>Y</banner></DOR_DATA>
<DOR_DATA><dati><formaGiur>100</formaGiur></dati></DOR_DATA>
<DOR_DATA><dati><banner>Y</banner><formaGiur>100</formaGiur></dati></DOR_DATA>

The following XSD is wrong and I cannot find the solution:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="...XMLSchema....">
<xsd:element name="DATA">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">
<xsd:element name="DOCUMENTS" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">
<xsd:element name="DOCUMENT" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">
<xsd:element name="DOR_ID" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="xsd:integer" />
<xsd:element name="DOR_DATA">
<xsd:complexType >
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:any />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>

This forum is for asking questions about the use of Eclipse's XML Schema Definition model, not for general "help me author a schema" questions. Using wildcards seems the right general approach to what you state you are trying to achieve, but you haven't actually asked any question at all.
