Your message came through a bit garbled, but I think what you are trying =
to do might be best done with either substitution groups or xsi:type.  =
With xsi:type, you would define:
 
type anyHotel
type hotel1 derived from anyHotel
type hotel2 derived from anyHotel
element property1 of type anyHotel
 
then the instance would contain something like
 
<property1 xsi:type="hotel1" name="H1" address="A1"/>

Subject: Multiple Types for an element



	Is there a way to define multiple types for an element?

	For example

	 ...

	but if I want an XML like below:

	 

	<Feature1>

	     <property1 name="H1" address1="A1"/>

	     <property1 name="H2" address1="A2"/>

	</Feature1>

	 

	How can I define XML Schema? Basically I want one property element to =
have hotel1 as type and other one as hotel2. Is there a way to do such =
things? If so could somebody please mail me a Schema which does that.
