Hi Michael, Thanks for the code you gave earlier to invoke the XML Schema 1.1 processor, and the below information.
I have now downloaded the latest Xerces SVN code (as per the below information you gave). Now the type alternative is being recognized by Xerces. Below are the XML document and XML Schema I am trying: XML file: <PERSON xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="person.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> <FNAME>Mukul</FNAME> <LNAME>Gandhi</LNAME> <DOB>1999-06-02</DOB> <ADDRESS type="short"> <street1>ddd</street1> <street2>aaa</street2> <city>aaa</city> </ADDRESS> </PERSON> XML Schema file: <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <xs:element name="PERSON" type="PersonType" /> <xs:complexType name="PersonType"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="FNAME" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name="LNAME" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name="DOB" type="xs:date" /> <xs:element name="ADDRESS" type="Address"> <xs:alternative test="@type='short'" type="ShortAddress"/> <xs:alternative test="@type='long'" type="LongAddress"/> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> <xs:complexType name="Address"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="street1" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name="street2" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" /> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute name="type" type="xs:string"/> </xs:complexType> <xs:complexType name="ShortAddress"> <xs:complexContent> <xs:extension base="Address"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="city" type="xs:string" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:extension> </xs:complexContent> </xs:complexType> <xs:complexType name="LongAddress"> <xs:complexContent> <xs:extension base="Address"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="city" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name="state" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name="pin" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name="country" type="xs:string" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:extension> </xs:complexContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:schema> After validation I am getting below errors: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.2.4.d: Invalid content was found starting with element 'city'. No child element is expected at this point. at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(ErrorHandlerWrapper.java:196) at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.error(ErrorHandlerWrapper.java:132) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(XMLErrorReporter.java:394) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(XMLErrorReporter.java:325) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(XMLErrorReporter.java:282) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.XMLSchemaValidator$XSIErrorReporter.reportError(XMLSchemaValidator.java:4 66) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.XMLSchemaValidator.reportSchemaError(XMLSchemaValidator.java:3473) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.XMLSchemaValidator.handleStartElement(XMLSchemaValidator.java:1949) at org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.XMLSchemaValidator.startElement(XMLSchemaValidator.java:782) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.scanStartElement(XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.java:283) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDispatcher.dispatch(XMLDocumen tFragmentScannerImpl.java:1653) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.j ava:324) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(XML11Configuration.java:864) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(XML11Configuration.java:787) at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.StreamValidatorHelper.validate(StreamValidatorHelper.java:181) at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.ValidatorImpl.validate(ValidatorImpl.java:129) at javax.xml.validation.Validator.validate(Unknown Source) at XMLSchema11Test.main(XMLSchema11Test.java:15) Following are my observations: 1) Type alternative is not working as expected 2) Even without specifying version="1.1" in the Schema, type alternatives are recognized 3) The above error message do not display location of the error. It doesn't also say whether the error was in the XML document or the Schema. Please correct me on any of the points. My objective of testing type alternatives is to help make it's implementation accurate and robust.
