You are welcome. I appreciate the comment.
It seems that you want to be able to specify a default value that is
an xs:complexType. I do not know how you would do that.
Suppose you had:
<xs:complexType name="complexTypeA">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="description" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="item1" type="complexTypeB" default="xxx"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
What would you put in the place of xxx? I know how to specify a
default value for primitive and simple types (for example, an
xs:string, an xs:integer, or an xs:simpleType that restricts a
primitive type). But, I do not know how to do that for complex
types.
I did several Web searches, but found no help on how to do that. I
believe that default values must simple types.
Am I interpreting your question incorrectly? If so, please
straighten me out.
By the way, your task (loading a database from an XML instance
document) seems like a ETL (extract, transform, load) sort of
problem. I am currently working on adding support to generateDS for
a similar capability so that it can load XML data into a Django
database. So, someday, maybe, I will have a little more support for
that kind of task.
Thank you for your question. And, if I can be of more help, please
ask.
Dave
