specifing elements in arbitary order in DTD

Hello, Is there any way I can descibe Elements in DTD, where its child elements SHOULD BE present but can arrive in any arbitary order. I cant use ANY as that will allow some undesired elements to come through. For eg., Or is this where XMLSchema has an upper hand. And help is appreciated

RE: Validation error (restriction)

Title: RE: Validation error (restriction) Lisa, Thanks for your reply. This is really only one of the aspects of the restriction issue which I find a little bit unclear. As far as the Spec part 0 is concerned, you do a restriction on a complex type in a schema by copying the exact contents a

RE: Validation error (restriction)

Hi, The problem below is interesting.A few of us were discussing this, and we're not sure what the spec intended. There are some interesting variations such as : - the anonymous type for the attribute in the base is the same as the anonymous type for the attribute in the restriction,

Hi, The reason we emit the error is as follows - - for derivation by extension, the set of attributes for a complexType is obtained by doing a union of the attribute declarations in the base and those specified as children in the extension (loosely speaking - I'm paraphrasing somewha

For whatever reason, xalan (of unknow version) which was ahead of my xerces.jar in my cpath was cause the attributes to be grafted from the src tree to the destination tree without there values. I presume there is some dup class in xalan.jar that was overriding the xerces version - and this dup ha

Hi Fred, Could you also post your code and xml files so that we can reproduce this problem and, hopefully, solve it? Are you using "DeferredDocumentImpl"? I tried "DocumentImpl", and the attribute values seem to be imported (latest Xerces from CVS). Cheers, Sandy Gao Software Developer, IBM Cana

Re: Editor for Schema Design

If you want to continue using XMLSpy change the schema decl to 200010. if you are not using any of the new/uodated schema features this is a work around. once the schema has been created, change the schema decl back to 2001 so that xerces works fine. regards Sire Christopher Knorr <[EMAIL PROTE

Christopher, Off the top of my head, no, I can't think of one that I know for sure supports it, though you might try XML Authority. However, I have been a user of XMLSpy for almost two years now, and I would expect a new release that supports this recommendation fairly quickly. They are pretty a

I have been using XMLSpy 3.5 to develop new Schema and XML files for the last few months. With the latest release of Xerces and the WC3 20010502 recommendation I am now without a graphical editor.

Then it's possible (although I thought this was fixed in 1.3.1 (or something)) that 1.4.0 has regressed. I know I've heard a few other complaints on the dev mailing list for Xerces about 1.4.0 having regressed in other areas. I might suggest trying to extract the last version of 1.3.x from CVS an

Hi Fred, Hmmm... can't think of anything to fix that. It should be OK. The API specifies: For all nodes, importing a node creates a node object owned by the importing document, with attribute values identical to the source node's nodeName and nodeType, plus the attributes related to namespaces (pr

This is a Java issue, I believe. You can specify the proxy settings through system properties like http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort. For example: http://www.ibiblio.org/javafaq/javafaq.html#proxy For authentication, you'll need to implement an Authenticator and set it as the default using
