You may also wish to ask this on the UBL-DEV list, where you may get a
response from folks who may have had the same observation.

Subject: [xml-dev] Newbie Schema Restriction Question

I'm deriving types from UBL, some of which have elements which are
required by the specification.  I would like to derive the element types
using restriction, and use the derived types instead of the base types.
For example, I'd like to derive MyLineItemType from restriction of the
UBL LineItemType and use MyLineItemType as an element within
MyOrderLineType, which is derived from a restriction of the UBL
OrderLineType. However, when I do this, I get the following error from
the JAXB xjc utility:

[ERROR] rcase-RecurseLax.2: There is not a complete functional mapping
between t he particles.
  line 20 of
file:/D:/Documents%20and%20Settings/chgtg6h/workspace/Order%20Inter
face/src/xsd/annotated/test/Child.xsd

[ERROR] derivation-ok-restriction.5.4.2: Error for type 'ChildType'.
The partic le of the type is not a valid restriction of the particle of
the base.
  line 20 of
file:/D:/Documents%20and%20Settings/chgtg6h/workspace/Order%20Inter
face/src/xsd/annotated/test/Child.xsd


Here are the Schema files which I am using to test my requirements:

Parent.xsd:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
  targetNamespace="parent"
  xmlns="parent"
  elementFormDefault="qualified"
  attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
  <xsd:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"/>
  <xsd:element name="Parent" type="ParentType"/>
  <xsd:element name="Element" type="ElementType"/>
  <xsd:element name="String" type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:complexType name="ElementType">
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element ref="String" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="1"></xsd:element>
    </xsd:sequence>
  </xsd:complexType>
  <xsd:complexType name="ParentType">
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element ref="Element" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="1"></xsd:element>
    </xsd:sequence>
  </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

Child.xsd:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
  targetNamespace="child"
  xmlns="child"
  xmlns:parent="parent"
  elementFormDefault="qualified"
  attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
  <xsd:import namespace="parent" schemaLocation="Parent.xsd"/>
  <xsd:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"/>
  <xsd:element name="Child" type="ChildType"/>
  <xsd:element name="Element" type="RestrictedElementType"
substitutionGroup="parent:Element"/>
  <xsd:complexType name="RestrictedElementType">
    <xsd:complexContent>
      <xsd:restriction base="parent:ElementType">
        <xsd:sequence>
          <xsd:element ref="parent:String" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="1"></xsd:element>
        </xsd:sequence>
      </xsd:restriction>
    </xsd:complexContent>
  </xsd:complexType>
  <xsd:complexType name="ChildType">
    <xsd:complexContent>
      <xsd:restriction base="parent:ParentType">
        <xsd:sequence>
          <xsd:element ref="Element" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="1"></xsd:element>
        </xsd:sequence>
      </xsd:restriction>
    </xsd:complexContent>
  </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>


Why can't I do this?  In this situation, the element "Element" in
"ChildType" has a type which is valid derivation of the "ElementType" in
my parent schema.  In the OO paradigm which I am familiar with, this is
perfectly legal.  For example, here is essentially the same situation in
Java:

Parent.java:
public class Parent {
	
	private Object element;
	
	public Object getElement() {
		return element;
	}
}

Child.java:
public class Child extends Parent {
	
	private String element;
	
	@Override
	public String getElement() {
		return element;
	}
}

Please help figure out how to accomplish my requirements in Schema.

Thanks!
