RE: Xml schema for Log4Net configuration

[Nicko Cadell]

The log4net configuration is set by using reflection, the xml
configuration file is read and each element is matched up to a property
or method on a .net object. By adding a new type you are extending the
configuration syntax.

There are a few xml elements and attributes that are specifically
checked for.

I have attached an xml schema that I think shows these elements, but is
actually invalid because it contains an <any/> element at the same
element as other named elements. The only xml schema that I can actually
see correctly expresses the log4net configuration is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema 
  attributeFormDefault="unqualified" 
  elementFormDefault="qualified" 
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>

        <xs:element name="log4net">
                <xs:complexType>
                        <xs:sequence>

                                <xs:any 
                                  minOccurs="0" 
                                  maxOccurs="unbounded" 
                                  processContents="lax"/>

                        </xs:sequence>
                </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>

</xs:schema>

Now this is not a very useful schema as it just says that the <log4net>
element can contain any child elements.
