Vincent -
Thanks for the fix. I've applied your change. It seems to work in
my tests.
However, I have a question: Your sample element definition
(MetaConstruct) can have no children (child elements). Does
it also guarantee that a MetaConstruct element in an
instance document can have no character content? For example,
could we have the following:
<metaconstruct name="SampleType" dataType="ComplexType01">
some character content
and other text
</metaconstruct>
I don't believe that is allowed, given your element definition.
But, if that is possible, then with your fix, the character content
("some character content ...") would not be exported.
What do you think?
I believe the relevant part of the specification is section 2.5.3
"Empty Content" in "XML Schema Part 0" --
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/
The 2nd example in that section:
Shorthand for an Empty Complex Type
<xsd:element name="internationalPrice">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:attribute name="currency" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:attribute name="value" type="xsd:decimal"/>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
seems very similar to yours. Am I right that the spec is saying
that this element definition allows *no* character content?
I have not attached a new version, because I assume that you have
patched your change into yours.
