As far as whats going on, ArrestingGearTimeSlice has 2 description elements defined 1 from xs:extension base="AbstractAIXMTimeSliceBaseType" which refers to the top level description as an int and the other from <xs:group ref="ArrestingGearPropertyGroup"/> which refers to its local type description as a string.
I'm not really sure whats intended by the aixm group here, but it appears to be a valid error (one I would expect) from the schema snippet you posted. You may want to contact aixm about it. If you can tell us what is expected from that type, maybe we can hack up a real workaround for you, but the simplest thing I would suggest is to change those types to match. -jacobd On Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 6:06 AM, Ash Lux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've been trying to use a third party's XSD with XMLBeans (specifically > something called AIXM - http://www.aixm.aero/). > > I'm unsure if the problem lies with XMLBeans or with the schema.
