  • 0

Is there a way to define a constant value and use that constant in the preceeding XSD? I have a common value I want to use for various xs:element tag’s maxOccurs attributes. Like constants in other languages, I want to make the change in one place should the value backing MyConst were to ever change.

<!-- Can I do this? -->
<ConstantValue id="MyConst" value="10"/>
...
<xs:element name="sandwich_meat" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="MyConst"/>
<xs:element name="sandwich_name" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="MyConst"/>

    No it is not allowed that way. However you can define your own type with a fixed value in it somewhere on top of your XSD (place dosen matters) and use that type for the elements.
