Hi,

I need to validate some extra nodes and attributes against schema files. I can't declare those attributes in existing schema files but need to create separate ones and need to refer those declarations in already existing schemas.

Eg.

<Source PseudoCityCode="NPCK" TerminalID="1">
<RequestorID ID="YT"/>
</Source>

Now, all the attributes are validated except @TerminalID.
I have declared this attribute in a separate xsd as :

<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="YT_SourceType">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="TerminalID" use="optional"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:complexType>

I need to refer this in my existing schema file, which has code like :

<xs:complexType name="SourceType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="RequestorID" type="UniqueID_Type"/>
<xs:attribute name="PseudoCityCode" type="xs:string" use="optional"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

I have already included my schema file in this file as:

<xs:include schemaLocation="CustomizedRQ.xsd"/>

Please help me how to do this.

Regards,
Mary

I suspect you can achieve what you want using xs:redefine. It's not a facility I recommend to people, because I think it causes confusion, but it seems to do what you are looking for.
