No, sorry, that will not work.
XML Schema has wildcards for anyElement and anyAttribute.
You are asking for a wildcard for anyValue which is not supported.
Another feature, which you are not asking for, is a value wildcard
specified with a pattern. This is also not supported but worth
thinking about.
All the best, Ashok

Subject: XML Schema wildcard question
Is it possible to add a wildcard in the following XML schema enumeration
example?
<xsd:element name="DeviceDataType">
<xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="b"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="f"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="flag"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="h"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="i"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="s"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="*"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:element>
Will the enumeration line that contains: value="*" match any value that
wasn't equal to
b, f, flag, h, i, or s? Does a wildcard feature exist in XML Schemas?
Thank you for your help,
Maureen C. Harig
