property dependency checking

[Prasad G S K <prasadg@aztec.soft.net>]

Title: Message

Hi,

Please go thru the xml documents below:

 

Case 1:

<root>

    <prop1 value="ABC">

    <prop2 value="...">

</root>

 

Case 2:

<root>

    <prop1 value="XYZ">

    <prop3 value="...">

</root>

 

I want to state my requirement as follows:

-> When the value of "prop1" is ABC then "prop2" should follow "prop1"

-> When the value of "prop1" is XYZ then "prop3" should follow "prop1"

 

Can I define this kind of restriction/dependency in XSD files? Or is the restriction too fine that it is to be handled within the application?

 

regards,

GSK
