Hi,
Can anyone help me in explaining the difference between the xs:simpleType & xs:complexType? I am bit confused with these two. Please explain these two with the proper example. When should we go for simpleType and when should we go for xs:complexType? Also explain about simplexContent and complexContent? Thanks Selvam |

Complex types allow element children, simple types don't. So <a><b/></a> has a complex type, while <a>ddd</a> has a simple type. "Complex types with simple content" allow attributes but not child elements, for example <a b="1">ddd</a> A complex type with "Mixed content" allows character data as well as child elements, for example <p>Some <i>italic</i> text</p> The only time there's any confusion is with empty elements <a/>, which can be modelled as either complex or simple depending on your whim.

thanks..
you mean "Mixed Content" as "complexContent" right? Can you also explain me the way how the xs:any and xs:anyAttribute will work? what is the diff b/w namespace="##any", "##other", "##local", "##targetNamespace"?
