I have a situation where I would like to define an
XSD to allow to different "groups" of data. I would
like to use the xsd:choice mechanism to allow Xerces to choose between the two groups during validation. The groups contain the same makeup, however there is different values depending on the <source>. For example: Choice 1:
<element1> <source>foo</source> <value>bar</value> </element1> Choice 2:
<element1> <source>anystring</source> <value>anyvalue</value> </element1> So if <source> element has a value of "foo" I
would like the <value> element to be forced to be part of an
enumeration (foo, bar, foobar). If the <source> element does not have a value of "foo" then I really don't care what the value of <value> element is, it can be any string. Choice 3 is INVALID, since cat is not a valid
enumeration for the value element if the source element is
set to foo. <element1> <source>foo</source> <value>cat</value> <element1> Does anyone know how I can write my XSD to allow
this situation? Can this be done with the current W3C XSD
Recommendation?
Thanks for any help
