Question

XML parsing failure - [s4s-elt-invalid-content.1]

Answer 1

A:

I believe it's the schema that's invalid, not the message itself. complexContent is meant to contain annotations, restrictions or extensions.

Are you sure it's not meant to be just complexType instead of having a nested complexContent?

Hi Jon. In fact I'm a newbie to XML schemas. You mean I must remove the "complexContent" element? Thanks

@John: Yes, remove the element but not its contents... see skaffman's answer, basically :)

Jon Skeet 2010-08-30 19:07:18

Ok Jon, thanks :)

Hi Jon, I've edited my question. Unfortunately the error has changed.

@John: Okay, so now it looks like the schema is valid, but the content doesn't match the schema...

The error says "Element 'BidPrice' cannot have character [children], because the type's content type is element-only." I'm trying to figure out the meaning of this message. I think the XML message may be coming on this format:<BidPrice> <another_element> value </another_element> </BidPrice>And in fact it should come on this format:<BidPrice> value </BidPrice>But I'm not sure...

@John: Yes, that looks like it's probably the problem. You should *definitely* log a copy of the XML so you can try this in a more controlled way.

Answer 2

+1 A:

You don't need the complexContent element, I don't think, you can just put the sequence directly under the complexType:

<xsd:complexType name="QuoteFIBondPrice">
    <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="BidPrice" type="QuoteFIBondValue" minOccurs="0"/>
        <xsd:element name="MidPrice" type="QuoteFIBondValue" minOccurs="0"/>
        <xsd:element name="OfferPrice" type="QuoteFIBondValue" minOccurs="0"/>
        <xsd:element name="MaturityDate" type="DbGMLType:SystemName" minOccurs="0"/>
        <xsd:element name="Coupon" type="DbGMLType:SystemName" minOccurs="0"/>
        <xsd:element name="DisplayName" type="DbGMLType:SystemName" minOccurs="0"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

See w3schools docs and examples.

Hi skaffman. Ok, I'll remove the "complexContent" element. But will I need to remove the "sequence" element as well? Thanks

darklydreamingcoder 2010-08-30 19:07:13

@John: Umm, no, the sample I posted should work.

skaffman 2010-08-30 19:09:29

Nice. I'll correct and make a try. I'll let you know when I have finished. Thank you very much

darklydreamingcoder 2010-08-30 19:16:44

Hi skaffman, I've edited my question. Unfortunately the error has changed.
