Hello everyone, The 2.2.1 schema validating sax parser rejects anonymous (no name attribute)complexType with final attribute in a schema (it also rejects 3 other attributes that are OK for named complex types).
The XML schema specification does not prohibit an anonymous complexType from having a final attribute (even though absurd since how can you derive a class from an unnamed class). Unless I missed something in my reading of the schema spec, since behaviour is not clearly speced out in this case, to ignore would be as valid as to throw an error. EXAMPLE I think this is legal by spec, but rejected by parser. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <schema targetNamespace="urn:tl" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; elementFormDefault="qualified"> <element name="element_one"> <complexType final="restriction"> <sequence> <element name="child_one" type="string"/> <element name="child_two" type="string"/> </sequence> </complexType> </element> </schema> Did I overlook something, or should the schema folks tighten up the spec?
