How can define OR logic for elements in my XSD file? Unfortunately I can't make changes in "OLD STYLE BLOCK" structure, I am just extending existing XML structure.
The only idea I have is something like this example XSD below but I have parser error I hoped I can include xsd:choice and xsd:sequence to xs:complexType
Can I use Version="2.0" somehow to add extra logic to xsd ?
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<MyStruct Version="2.0">
<!-- xs should allow "NEW STYLE BLOCK" OR "OLD STYLE BLOCK" with array of id -->
<!-- one of them should present !!!! -->
<!-- NEW STYLE BLOCK my complex type-->
<IDArray> <
<IDSet>
<ID>89</ID>
<ID>1</ID>
<ID>2</ID>
</IDSet>
<IDSet>
<ID>3</ID>
<ID>4</ID>
</IDSet>
</IDArray>
<!-- end of NEW STYLE BLOCK -->
<!-- OLD STYLE BLOCK array of elements -->
<ID>5</ID>
<ID>7</ID>
<!-- end of OLD STYLE BLOCK -->
<Type>Some type</Type> <!-- mandatory element -->
<ReadableName>Human readable name</ReadableName> <!-- mandatory element -->
</MyStruct>
Proposed XSD
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="1.1">
<xs:element name="MyStruct">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice>
<xs:element name="IDArray" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="IDSet" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="ID" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="ID" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:choice>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Type" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="ReadableName" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence> <!-- error in this line -->
<xs:attribute name="Version" type="xs:string" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
Error message , I assume xsd:choice and xs:sequence are not allowed simultaneously
./MyStruct.xsd:: element sequence: Schemas parser error : Element '{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}complexType': The content is not valid. Expected is (annotation?, (simpleContent | complexContent | ((group | all | choice | sequence)?, ((attribute | attributeGroup)*, anyAttribute?)))).
Try
<xs:element name="MyStruct">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:choice>
<xs:element name="IDArray" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="IDSet" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="ID" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="ID" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:choice>
<xs:element name="Type" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="ReadableName" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="Version" type="xs:string" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
