xsd:all containing xsd:choice

[lius 0]

Hi,I thought I knew Schema but obviously I'm not as smart as I thought I was What I want to describe in my Schema is the following structure:

<info>this is an information</info><error>this is an error</error><fileNumber>12345</fileNumber>

The info-tag is to be optional. error and fileNumber must not appear at the same time (choice).I tried this, which is not valid, because "all" must only contain elements:

<xsd:all>	<xsd:element name="info" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" />	<xsd:complexType>		<xsd:choice>			<xsd:element name="error" type="xsd:string" />			<xsd:element name="fileNumber" type="xsd:string" />		</xsd:choice>	</xsd:complexType></xsd:all>

Right now my only solution looks like this:

<xsd:all>	<xsd:element name="info" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" />	<xsd:element name="container">		<xsd:complexType>			<xsd:choice>				<xsd:element name="error" type="xsd:string" />				<xsd:element name="fileNumber" type="xsd:string" />			</xsd:choice>		</xsd:complexType>	</xsd:element></xsd:all>

But I don't want this ugly container-element.Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? Thanks in advance!Lius

<xsd:complexType><xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="info" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" /> <xsd:choice> <xsd:element name="error" type="xsd:string" /> <xsd:element name="fileNumber" type="xsd:string" /> </xsd:choice></xsd:sequence></xsd:complexType>hope it is not ugly

hey, you just made my day! Thank you so much!It really works with a 'sequence'. But I don't quite understand why this is not allowed for 'all' groups.Anyway, thanks for your kind help, which was not ugly at all

"all" has only one type of child element, that is "element". So if you put "choice" in "all", there will be an error.
