greetings,
I have a question about restricting anySimpleType. I wanted to define a
type based on xsd:token that would allow for a few possible values for the
element content and an optional attribute. After much difficulty, I
finally got the following to validate fine, and it appears to be what I
wanted, but I am not sure if this is legal or just not caught by my
validator (XML Spy 4.4). The base below is anySimpleType, which I thought
shouldn't work, since it is not a complex type. Is what I have below
legal, and is there a better way to define a type with an element with
enumerated values and an attribute?
<xsd:complexType name="ExampleType">
<xsd:simpleContent>
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:anySimpleType">
<xsd:enumeration value="a possible value"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="another possible value"/>
<xsd:attribute name="anAttribute" type="xsd:token"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>
thanks,
calvin
