-----------------------------------
As discussed on the mailing list, the description for this issue should really
be:
_Allow setting flexible="true" and ordered="true" at the same time_.
> Allow setting flexible="true" and ordered="false" at the same time
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JIBX-397
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JIBX-397
> Project: JiBX
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: JiBX 1.2.2
> Reporter: Archie Cobbs
>
> Currently, setting flexible="true" on a <structure> element is limited to
> situations in which ordered="false".
> First, I don't understand why this restriction is necessary. Why is it any
> harder to ignore unknown elements in the ordered case than in the unordered
> case? Can't you just ignore them?
> Secondly, this makes JiBX useless on some very common and important use
> cases: XML schemas that allow arbitrary nested elements from other
> namespaces.
> For example, any schema that has ordered elements plus one of these in it:
> <xsd:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0"
> maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
> If you want to write a parser that accepts any valid document adhering to
> such a schema, you need to be able to have your parser automatically ignore
> the nested stuff from other namespaces that you don't recognize. This is a
> common pattern in XML documents to allow independent parties to
> independently define extensions that are automatically (a)
> backward-compatible and (b) don't conflict. But there doesn't seem to be a
> way to accomplish this with JiBX when the namespace="##other" element(s)
> appear among an ordered set of elements.
> JiBX utility would therefore be improved if flexible="true" and
> ordered="false"
> could be set at the same time.
