Creating a Schema With two occurrences of the same componen

[carol.aboody]

Hello all,

Hope you could help me.

I have to validate an XML file using an XSD schema.
The problem is that the XML contains the same name, "isavail ", in 2 different uses.

I can't change the XML, how can I validate it?

My XML file looks like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<isavail rc="0" service="invitation">

  < isavails>

     < isavail invid="64834" status="valid"/>

  </ isavails>

</ isavail >

My XSD schema looks like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!--W3C Schema generated by XMLSpy v2007 sp2 (http://www.altova.com)-->

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

	<xs:element name=" isavails ">

		<xs:complexType>

			<xs:sequence>

				<xs:element ref=" isavail"/>

			</xs:sequence>

		</xs:complexType>

	</xs:element>

	<xs:element name=" isavail">

		<xs:complexType>

			<xs:sequence>

				<xs:element ref=" isavails" minOccurs="0"/>

			</xs:sequence>

			<xs:attribute name="status" type="xs:string"/>

			<xs:attribute name="service" type="xs:string"/>

			<xs:attribute name="rc" type="xs:int"/>

			<xs:attribute name="invid" type="xs:long"/>

		</xs:complexType>

	</xs:element>

</xs:schema>

when i try validating it i get this message:
sch-props-correct.2: A schema cannot contain two global components with the same name; this schema contains two occurrences of ',isavail'.


Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Carol

Technically this is an Oxygen forum, not an XMLSpy one. But anyways:
Try removing the spaces from all the element name declarations. XMLSpy is picky about this.

I'm sorry, I'm new to XML world..

I'm trying to validate the file with JDOM Object (JAVA application), not XMLSPY.

The spaces are not present in the XSD file , only in this msg (copy-paste problem..)

Do you have any more ideas?
