Question

<xs:element name="BeginDate" type="xs:string">
   <xs:simpleType>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
        <xs:pattern value="\d{8}"/>
    </xs:restriction>
    </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

In the XML I gave

     <BeginDate>20100721</BeginDate>

but it returns an error … there is a problem with the code here .. but i am using a validated code 🙁

So I’m a bit blocked

Answer 1

You have defined the content type twice. You have:
1) attribute type on <xs:element>
2) <xs:simpleType> block as a child of <xs:element>.

You can’t have both. In this case, you don’t need the type attribute.
