Hi, all,

Is there any way to require that some attributes must to occur together?
I have an element "Get" the semantics of which and therefore the attributes
required depend on the attribute ("source"). I created attributeGroups each
with another fixed value for the required "source" attribute, but
unfortunately one cannot embed attributeGroups in <choice> elements or some
other representation with "or" semantics.
I then created a complexType with each of the attributeGroups and a group
like that
<group name="SomeGetElement">
    <choice>
        <element name="Get" type="GetType1"/>
        <element name="Get" type="GetType2"/>
        <element name="Get" type="GetType3"/>
    <choice>
</group>

but got an Error because of a "Unique Particle Attribution" violation. I
don't want to specify "xsi:type" in the instance document, but is there any
way out without breaking up my "Get" element into multiple elements?

Thanks an advance,
Sonja
