Hi Group,
I have an xsd where i want to extend an element type but also control
the parent types data. Let us take a simple library example,
We have types Book and Writer (A book has many "authors" and a writer
has "books"). Now there are subclasses for Book like FunBook, TechBook
and Author has subclasses like FreelanceWriter, SeriousWriter etc. (OO
purists please excuse the usage of inheritance paradigm here :)
Now, i want to impose some restrictions on SeriousWriter. For example,
although he can write many types of books, i want to enforce that "He
cannot write FunBooks". Similarly a Techbook not being able to authored
by a "FunWriter" etc.
Can someone tell me if this can be possible in XSD? I am not able to get
the <xsd:restriction> element to work here. The constraint here being
that i want the "authors" and "books" relation *only* in the base class?
I have also attached the sample xsd.
Thanks,
Kannan
