Hello,
I have defined a DTD with a set of xml's. These xml's have the elements
defined in more that one order,
like
<!---------- a.xml------------>
<CompanyProfile>
<Profile>
..........
</Profile>
<Promotion>
............
</Promotion>
</CompanyProfile>
Another xml file has the order changed
<!-----------b.xml-------->
<CompanyProfile>
<Promotion>
.............
</Promotion>
<Profile>
..........
</Profile>
</CompanyProfile>
The DTD for these files contains
<!ELEMENT CompanyProfile ( Profile?, Promotion?)>
The problem im facing is that when i validate the xmls with the
corresponding DTD, it throws an error in b.xml, which relates to the
order of the elements Profile and Promotion.
Im using xmllint to validate the xml :
$xmllint --noout --valid a.xml
My questions is:
How can i override the order of elements (the elements are optional in
nature as well) not to be checked with the corresponding DTD?
Ive used a XML schema to validate the xmls but doesnt work, since i cant
have an ordered list ("all") have maxOccurs=unbounded
Thanks for you help in advance
