I'm quite new to xml schemas. I do not really understand why if it is possible to define a simple type as a restriction on the range of values of another simple type, like this for instance: <xsd:simpleType name="type1"> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:integer"> <xsd:minInclusive value="0"/> <xsd:maxInclusive value="100"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> <xsd:simpleType name="type2"> <xsd:restriction base="type1"> <xsd:minInclusive value="10"/> <xsd:maxInclusive value="20"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> the reciprocal operation of defining a simple type as an extension on the range of values of another simple type is an error (at least I get an error with the apache parser): <xsd:simpleType name="type1"> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:integer"> <xsd:minInclusive value="0"/> <xsd:maxInclusive value="100"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> <xsd:simpleType name="type2"> <xsd:extension base="type1"> <xsd:minInclusive value="-100"/> <xsd:maxInclusive value="200"/> </xsd:extension > </xsd:simpleType> thanks a lot. jorma kReceived on Monday, 14 July 2008 00:32:35 GMT
