Minimal XSD schema for the Logback XML configuration file
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: LBCORE-239
URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-239
Project: logback-core
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Other
Affects Versions: 1.0.0
Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet
Assignee: Logback dev list
Although it's probably impossible to have an XSD schema that has every possible
configuration element,
it's possible to provide a valid XSD that allows any element at certain places,
but does have a list of the common (= minimal set) of configuration elements,
such as <configuration>, <appender> and <root>.
How to have a specific element that can have any child element?
{code}
<!-- The element "appender" can have any child element, for example "foo" or
"bar" or "myOwnElement" -->
<xs:element name="appender" minOccurs="0">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation source="version">1.0.0</xs:documentation>
<xs:documentation source="description">TODO The appender
...</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:any minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" processContents="skip"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
{code}
Benefits:
- Can be used to validate the xml in IntelliJ/Eclipse, without having to run it.
- Code completion for XML in IntelliJ/Eclipse
- The XSD description can explain what those "minimal" elements do. With
IntelliJ (and Eclipse?) that "javadoc" pops up when writing it.
- Can also be used by logback itself to validate the xml at runtime.
