xsd type definition question...

[jdoy]

Hi all,

Well i have a question about defining types in xsd... I like to know if it's possible to define an element which is either of one type or another. I explain.

Imagine <xs:element name="result" type "data">

....

and i like to define this type data either as int or as boolean.=> How to define then my type data???? I suppose i have to do something like

<xs:complexType name="data">, but then...... How to do the "either...or" ??

Thanx in advance for helping, it would be very nice of you....

with this sample you can define in your xml that the data maybe:"boolean" or "int".
You can add more if you want

<xsd:simpleType name="SupportedDataType">
&nbsp;&nbsp;<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<xsd:enumeration value="boolean"/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<xsd:enumeration value="int"/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
