xml validation error

[nandana]

hi,

while creating the below part of the xsd, I'm getting errors:

<xs:element name="HealthState">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:restriction base="cim:cimUnsignedShort">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:union>
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:unsignedShort">
<xs:enumeration value="0"/>
<xs:enumeration value="5"/>
<xs:enumeration value="10"/>
<xs:enumeration value="15"/>
<xs:enumeration value="20"/>
<xs:enumeration value="25"/>
<xs:enumeration value="30"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:unsignedShort">
<xs:minInclusive value="31"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:union>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

where, the definition for cim:cimUnsignedShort is as follows in another xsd.:

<xs:complexType name="cimUnsignedShort">
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:unsignedShort">
<xs:anyAttribute namespace="##any" processContents="lax"/>
</xs:extension>
</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>

Im getting the following error while validating:

Type '{anonymous}' is not a valid restriction of type 'cim:cimUnsignedShort'.
Error location: xs:schema / xs:element / xs:complexType / xs:simpleContent / xs:restriction / @base
derivation-ok-restriction.5.2: The simple type definition '{anonymous}' is not a valid restriction of the base type definition's content type 'xs:unsignedShort'.

Please help me understand the problem.

thanks in advance.

Nandan.

Hi Nandan,

Point 5.2 from
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#derivation-ok-restriction to which the
error message refers tells you that basically the derived simple type is
not a valid simple type derivation from the simple type of the base
content type, that is your simple type

<xs:simpleType>
   <xs:union>
     <xs:simpleType>
       <xs:restriction base="xs:unsignedShort">
         <xs:enumeration value="0"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="5"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="10"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="15"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="20"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="25"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="30"/>
       </xs:restriction>
     </xs:simpleType>
     <xs:simpleType>
       <xs:restriction base="xs:unsignedShort">
         <xs:minInclusive value="31"/>
       </xs:restriction>
     </xs:simpleType>
   </xs:union>
</xs:simpleType>

is not a restriction of xs:unsignedShort.

If you look at
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#cos-st-derived-ok

you see in 2.2.3 that if your derived type is a union as in your case
then you can derive that only from anySimpleType.

Best Regards,
George

Hi,
I tried doing the following to remove the error

<xs:anySimpleType>
   <xs:union>
     <xs:simpleType>
       <xs:restriction base="xs:unsignedShort">
         <xs:enumeration value="0"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="5"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="10"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="15"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="20"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="25"/>
         <xs:enumeration value="30"/>
       </xs:restriction>
     </xs:simpleType>
     <xs:simpleType>
       <xs:restriction base="xs:unsignedShort">
         <xs:minInclusive value="31"/>
       </xs:restriction>
     </xs:simpleType>
   </xs:union>
</xs:anySimpleType>

but, it doesn't recognise the <xs:anySimpleType> tag. Please help.

Thanks,
Nandan.

You've misunderstood (and what you've written is meaningless). You're trying
to use this type in a position where the system requires your type to be a
restriction of xs:unsignedShort, and no type that you define as a union will
ever be a restriction of xs:unsignedShort. Your only remedy is to define
your type without using a union. You could do this for example by defining
it with a pattern:

xs:pattern value="0|5|10|15|20|25|[3-9]\d|\d{3,5}"
