xml schema:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:zoo="http://www.zoo.com"
targetNamespace="http://www.zoo.com"

<xs:element name="workers" type="zoo:Tworkers"/>

<xs:complexType name="Tworkers">
<xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="impiegato" type ="zoo:Timpiegato"/>
    <xs:element name="manager" type ="zoo:Tmanager"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

<xs:complexType name="Timpiegato">
<xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="username" type ="xs:string"/>
    <xs:element name="password" type ="xs:string"/>
    <xs:element name="nome" type ="xs:string"/>
    <xs:element name="sesso" type ="xs:string"/>
    <xs:element name="eta" type ="xs:integer" default="-1"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

<xs:complexType name="Tmanager">
<xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="username" type ="xs:string"/>
    <xs:element name="password" type ="xs:string"/>
    <xs:element name="nome" type ="xs:string"/>
    <xs:element name="sesso" type ="xs:string"/>
    <xs:element name="eta" type ="xs:integer" default="-1"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

</xs:schema>

code:

my $xmlschema = XML::LibXML::Schema->new( location => "../xml/worker.xsd" );
if (eval { $xmlschema->validate( $doc ); } eq undef) {
  # redirect
}

I think that the problem is in this part of the schema:

<xs:complexType name="Tworkers">
<xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="impiegato" type ="zoo:Timpiegato"/>
    <xs:element name="manager" type ="zoo:Tmanager"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

because if I run

xmllint --schema worker.xsd workers.xml

on a terminal I get this error:

workers.xml:10: element impiegato: Schemas validity error : Element '{http://www.zoo.com}impiegato': This element is not expected. Expected is ( {http://www.zoo.com}manager ).

Is there an alternative to xs:sequence to try? Because Impiegato and Managers elements don’t have an order.

Answer 1

fix’d the problem changing Tworkers to

<xs:complexType name="Tworkers">
    <xs:sequence  maxOccurs="unbounded">
        <xs:element name="impiegato" type ="zoo:Timpiegato" minOccurs="0" />
        <xs:element name="manager" type ="zoo:Tmanager" minOccurs="0"/>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

Now I have another problem (likely on the namespace), asking a new question
