Hi Holger There are a couple of problems here. One is that the error message is a bit misleading and leads you to think that there's some problem with the type definition (in your case "typeMLSTRING00250") when in fact it's a problem with the _use_ of that type.
The second problem is that I think XmlBeans has been overzealous. It is true that if you define something like your ARTICLE_STATUS definition using <complexContent> that the referenced base type must be a complex type (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#src-ct step 1). However I can't find anything in the spec which goes the one step further and also insists that the base type must be defined (either explicitly or implicitly) with <complexContent> i.e. it should be fine for a type defined using <complexContent> to be an extension of a <complexType> which has <simpleContent>. However (as you saw from the error message) at the moment XmlBeans does go that one step further and insists that if the type uses <complexContent> then so must the base type. I think this is a bug and have raised a JIRA (see http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-239) with a) a smaller repro (based on your schema) and b) a patch to fix it. In the meantime if you have control over the schema you can change all of the _uses_ that cause the above error to <simpleContent>. I have tried that and it removed all errors (still had 1 warning about something else) when compiling your schema. Hope that helps.
