Hello,
When no type is specified as in the
case of <
xs:element
name="Customer"
/> the xs:anyType is
being assigned and your element will accept any content model,
including eventually the one you defined in your global element
definition for Customer, but also anything else.
Greetings,
Radu
Hello all, I have the following example.
For my understanding of schema, I should have been obliged to use < xs:element ref ="tns: Customer " /> but < xs:element name =" Customer " /> is valid.
For me, element name = means I am going to declare the content of Customer element inline. Here I think I should be obliged to use ref and I is not the case.
Can someone can enlighten me on tis.
