I'm new here, and I am looking for a solution to specify the following ID Constraint using XML schema:
<root>
<groupA>
<item id="a">
<item id="b">
<item id="c">
<item id="d">
</groupA>
<groupB>
<item id="e">
<item id="f">
<item id="g">
<item id="h">
</groupB>
<groupC>
<reference refs="a b d"> <!-- correct, referencing only items in "groupA" ! -->
<reference refs="a d c e"> <!-- error, referencing not only items "groupA" but also in "groupB" ! -->
<groupC>
</root>
As you can see from the comments, I would like to enforce a role that says:
the "refs" attribute in the "reference" element under the "groupC" element is a list of references, and they must reference the "id" attribute of the "item" element ONLY under the "groupA" element.
The biggest headache for me now is the "ONLY" thing, how to reflect this using XML schema? Could any one give me a hint? Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Mike
