Re: dynamic validation, is this a bug

[Dean Hiller]

that agreement was already met.  That is the case, but I only want to validate the base type Car, not CompanyXCar, but xerces seems to barf on that as in my previous mail in which I pasted the error.  (ie. The Element / ExtendedElement example)
thanks,

The standard solution for that is to have everyone agree on a base schema
for Car and derive their customized CompanyXCars from that. Then
CompanyXCar will be an instance of the shared Car and everything just
works.

If you can't get that agreement...  you may be stuck with transcoding the
documents from their source schema into your desired schema before
operating on them.
