Having both an attribute and a restriction on an element in xml schema

Can I get Flash CS4 to observe an XML schema? So it may strongly type XML input...

...as it loads and save me having to duplicate the whole data structure by hand and set each type manually. It seems such donkey work should be quite unnecessary in this modern day and age but I can't find a shred of info on the web to help me avoid it! Surely this whole new e4x thingy must support type casting somehow?!? Cheers, Roger...

Axis2 and customizing an XML schema in a bottom-up approach

I am using axis2 to create a web service from a java class I created. Everything works well, but I'd like to be able to customize the wsdl and I cannot figure out how to do it.

What XSLT 2.0 tools exist?

Hello all, I'm trying to wrap my head around XML and XSLT stuff, and in my research I stumbled upon different XSLT processors. Xalan was the first one, and it seems to work pretty fine and is free, except that I need/want to use features in the 2.0 specs, including XML Schema. To do so I must either work with extensions and Xalan, or sw...

What is best practice for defining extensions in an XML standard?

I'm working on an XML Schema which is going to be used for data transfer between a number of applications, not all under our control.

Are there any standards for visually depicting XML file structures or schemas?

I have some XML files and schemas that I would like to document. Everything for this project is documented using NetBeans UML models, Microsoft Word documents, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and Microsoft Visio drawings.

XML Schema (XSD) - if one element has specific value then another element must be present and vice versa

Can I express this in an XSD? For example: One element is a required bool element named EmployedMoreThanThirteenWeeks and if the value is set to false I want the schema to require the existence of another element named EmploymentDate. And the other way around if the value is true then ideally the EmploymentDate element should be denied ...

So when the XML is generated the type ends up getting set in the XML to whatever the object rea...

How do I use the schema to "re-order" the elements in the document to conform to the ordering defined by the schema? I know that this should be poss...

What does the ref attribute on an element in an xsd do?

As the question says really, documentation seems to say that it references another element in the schema, but how could it be used - I've never seen it in schemas that I have worked with. Anyone got any nice use cases or something that could explain its use further? Thanks :) ...
