You have declared element "param" to be of the "ParamType" type, which is an abstract type. Therefore, when you insert a "param" element in XXE, it inserts an unusable, invalid, "param" element. In order to make the newly inserted "param" element usable one needs to: [1] Specify an xsi:type attribute by hand using the Attribute tool. [2] Let's say that xsi:type="ParamInt". Then you need to insert by hand a "default" child element in order to fix the validity of the newly inserted "param" element. Very tedious indeed. However there is no bug here: XXE works as expected. Given your schema, the only way to improve things, is to define several "param" *element* *templates* (see http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/elementTemplate.html), each "param" element template having its one xsi:type and a valid content. See in attached XXE configuration file: --- <cfg:elementTemplate name="float"> <param xmlns="astromodelns" xsi:type="ParamFloat"> <name></name> <varName></varName> <unit></unit> <description></description> <default>0</default> </param> </cfg:elementTemplate> <cfg:elementTemplate name="int"> <param xmlns="astromodelns" xsi:type="ParamInt"> <name></name> <varName></varName> <unit></unit> <description></description> <default>0</default> </param> </cfg:elementTemplate> <cfg:elementTemplate name="string"> <param xmlns="astromodelns" xsi:type="ParamString"> <name></name> <varName></varName> <unit></unit> <description></description> <default></default> </param> </cfg:elementTemplate> <cfg:elementTemplate name="coor"> <param xmlns="astromodelns" xsi:type="ParamCoor"> <name></name> <varName></varName> <unit></unit> <description></description> <default>00:00:00</default> </param> </cfg:elementTemplate> --- [[[NOTE: Add attribute selectable="override" to the first cfg:elementTemplate after XXE v3.6 is released. A bug prevents custom element templates having an xsi:type attribute and intended to replace the default, automatically generated, element template, from working in v3.5.2.]]] Alternatively, you may consider changing your schema and defining a substitution group containing several param elements "intparam", "floatparam", "stringparam", etc. Let's say that substitution groups are much more XXE friendly than xsi:type attributes (truly one of the W3C XML Schema horrors). --- PS: Remainder: as of XXE v3.6, support requests related to configuring XXE will be reserved to Professional Edition customers.
