Hi Malintha,
Yes. This is fine. Another workaround to achieve this is to define set of
values that can be accepted by the restriction. In here we can ignore $.
i.e if $ exists it will throw SAX exception.
<xs:element name="Name">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>Product Name</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:pattern value="[a-zA-Z0-9_.'
!@#%^*()_+={}|/:;,>?/`~ ]*"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
Regards
