Hi all, I am using a substitution group where the "head" element is abstract. In the instance document, I use the xsi:type to specify the type to use. However, it looks like the validator doesn't accept the types in the substitution group. the schema : <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> <xs:element name="rootElt"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="contentType"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="textContent" type="xs:string" substitutionGroup="contentType"/> <xs:element name="base64Content" type="xs:base64Binary" substitutionGroup="contentType"/> <xs:element name="contentType" abstract="true"/> </xs:schema> The instance document : <rootElt xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="C:\Temp\Untitled10.xsd"> <contentType xsi:type="textContent"></contentType> </rootElt> Error (XML Spy 4.3) : This file is not valid : Schema error - element or complexType 'contentType' is declared as abstract='true' ; please use xsi:type to specify a derived type that is not abstract, or use a member of a substitutionGroup instead. Am I doing something wrong here ? Thanks in advance for your help. RégisReceived on Tuesday, 12 February 2002 03:57:48 UTC
