Re: XML won't validate against schema

[Martin Gudgin <marting@develop.com>]

A few things spring to mind;

1.    XMLSpy doesn't like minOccurs='0' on the xsd:all element ( validate
the schema doc to get this info ) ( 0 is a valid value according to the
latest spec BTW )

2.    Valid values of maxOccurs on an xsd:all are either 0 or 1. unbounded
is not allowed ( line 495 )

3.    All that being said, it still doesn't work although changing the
xsd:all elements to xsd:sequence fixes the immediate problem ( and would
allow values other than 1 or 0 for min/maxOccurs ). I suspect XMLSpy has a
problem with xsd:all here.

You will also need to reorder subclass and class on lines 47 and 48 of
instance doc because of the change to sequence. Also change the date value
on line 64 and 69 to read 2000-01-01 ( YYYY-MM-DD ), provide a time value on
line 65 and 70 and change the value of the duration element on line 80 to
PT20H3M0S ( assuming you wanted a duration of 20 hours and 3 minutes ). In
addition the base type for the anonymous simpleType inside the element
declaration of discount_type should ( I think ) be xsd:string rather that
xsd:byte.

Fixed schema is at[1]. Fixed instance is at[2]
