Ordering Issues with XMLBeans

[Orville Pike]

Hi All,
 I ran into this issue a while back but just figured out the cause. I'm
using XMLBeans 2.2.0 with JDK 1.5. The issue is that XMLBeans if your xml
document does not have elements in the same order as they are listed in the
XSD, then XMLBeans is unable to parse the document at runtime. 

Below are a dtd,xsd  showing the problem. Has anyone else ran into this
problem and what was your solution. In the sample XML you'll notice all the
LevelOne elements are the same except the 1st which basically has LevelOneC
as the 1st child instead of LevelOneA. XMLBeans will show the following
error when parsing the document as it is now, however if you remove or
change the order in the
First LevelOne element it works fine.
The error that's reported:

Expected element 'LevelOneC' instead of 'LevelOneA' here in element LevelOne
Location of invalid XML: <LevelOneA
SOneA="SONEA_VALUE">LevelOneA_DATA</LevelOneA>

DTD:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
