Using XML Schema to Force At Least One Item?To: NULL Date: 4/1/2005 8:52:00 AM Sorry if this is a newbie question. I couldn't get the correct magic incantation for Google to get an answer. :-( I'm trying to satisfy a requirement that "at least one of the following *must* be present" in an XML Schema. I have come up with two examples that almost work. Here's the first: <xs:element name="LightExample1" maxOccurs="3"> <xs:complexType> <xs:choice> <xs:element name="A"/> <xs:element name="B"/> <xs:element name="C"/> </xs:choice> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> This doesn't work because it allows multiple A, B, or C elements. Here's the second example: <xs:element name="LightExample2"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="A" minOccurs="0"/> <xs:element name="B" minOccurs="0"/> <xs:element name="C" minOccurs="0"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> This *almost* works. The only problem is that it allows an empty <LightExample2/> element which fails the "at least one of" portion of the requirement. Is it possible to do this? Kenneth | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
