Question

How can I validate that an element has specific attribute and attribute must have specific value.

For example:

<macroField dictTag="referenceNum">a2398</macroField>

I need to validate that my XML contains element name macroField with attribute dictTag=”referenceNum” and also the value of this tag is a string.

Something like this:

<xs:element name="macroField">
   <xs:complexType>
      <xs:simpleContent>
         <xs:extension base="xs:string">
            <xs:attribute name="dictTag" type="xs:string" fixed="referenceNum"/>     
         </xs:extension>
      </xs:simpleContent>
   </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
