hello

I am trying to write an element with childs. I write this:

<xs:element name="application">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element ref="integration"/>
                <xs:element ref="pw"/>
                <xs:element ref="sla-entity"/>
                <xs:element ref="collection"/>
                <xs:element ref="service-time"/>
                <xs:element ref="zoom-displays"/>
                <xs:element ref="performace"/>
            </xs:sequence>
            <xs:attribute name="tid" type="xs:integer" use="required"/>
            <xs:attribute name="internal_name" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
            <xs:attribute name="guid" type="xs:integer" use="required"/>
            <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:integer" use="required"/>
            <xs:attribute name="range" type="xs:integer" use="required"/>
        </xs:complexType>
        <xs:element name="integration">
            <xs:complexType>
                <xs:attribute name="network" type="xs:string"/>
                <xs:attribute name="availability" type="xs:string"/>
                <xs:attribute name="instace-is-server" type="xs:string"/>
                <xs:attribute name="agent-type" type="xs:string"/>
                <xs:attribute name="alerts" type="xs:string"/>
                <xs:attribute name="foresight" type="xs:string"/>
            </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>
        <xs:element name="collection">
            <xs:complexType>
                <xs:attribute name="dir" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
                <xs:attribute name="remote" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
                <xs:attribute name="min-activity-report" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
                <xs:attribute name="max-activity-report" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
                <xs:attribute name="availability-report" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
            </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>
    </xs:element>

and for some reason it is shouting that there are problem. what is the correct way to write the elements integration and collection to be childs of application?

thank you very much

If you tell me what the error message is, then I might be able to explain to you what it means.

Think about the person responding to your questions. Try and make their life a bit easier. The chances are that anyone who can answer your question will be familiar with the error messages, and will be able to respond much more quickly if you supply the message.

With a second glance, it's pretty obvious: the child elements must be within the <complexType>.

I'm wondering how you made this error. You're not going to write schemas by guessing the syntax - it's one of the most unguessable languages around. You need a good reference book.

sorry for the Q but I didnt realy under stand. I am trying to put the collection element as a child of the application element.
<xs:element name="application">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element ref="integration"/>
                <xs:element ref="pw"/>
                <xs:element ref="sla-entity"/>
                <xs:element ref="collection"/>
                <xs:element ref="service-time"/>
                <xs:element ref="zoom-displays"/>
                <xs:element ref="performace"/>
            </xs:sequence>
            <xs:attribute name="tid" type="xs:integer" use="required"/>
            <xs:attribute name="internal_name" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
            <xs:attribute name="guid" type="xs:integer" use="required"/>
            <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:integer" use="required"/>
            <xs:attribute name="range" type="xs:integer" use="required"/>
        </xs:complexType>
        <xs:element name="collection">
            <xs:complexType>
                <xs:attribute name="dir" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
                <xs:attribute name="remote" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
                <xs:attribute name="min-activity-report" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
                <xs:attribute name="max-activity-report" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
                <xs:attribute name="availability-report" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
            </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>
        </>
    </xs:element>

after doing it (through the grid, by adding a child), I get an empty </> that there is nothing add to, and I get a message
Name ((Letter|'_''.'|)(Name-Character)*) expected.
since this is my first time, I dont know what this error means, and how can I write correct to makecollection a child of application

I have the same problem with creating child.
appreaciate if some one will solve this example.

thanks
