Hello, I want to create a simple Type which has an enum of values as restriction similar to this: <xs:simpleType name="UnitType"> <xs:restriction base="xs:string"> <xs:enumeration value="min"/> <xs:enumeration value="sec"/> <xs:enumeration value="hrs"/> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType> I have another simpleType which contains another enum as restriction: <xs:simpleType name="ParamName"> <xs:restriction base="xs:string"> <xs:enumeration value="A"/> <xs:enumeration value="B"/> <xs:enumeration value="C"/> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType> Now I want to combine those two lists and allow only certain combinations e.g. "A min", "A sec", "B hrs", "C min". Is there any possibility to achieve that in a Schema? Thanks, Martin

It is certainly possible however to define those four enumerations in a type of its own. -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/
Would be fine to define an extra type since I don't expect those tuples ever changing. Can you quickly guide me how to do?

Is there any possibility to >>> achieve that in a Schema? I am not sure I understood you correctly. Why can't you define <xs:simpleType> <xs:restriction base="xs:string"> <xs:enumeration value="A min"/> <xs:enumeration value="A sec"/> <xs:enumeration value="B hrs"/> <xs:enumeration value="C min"/> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType ? That is what I had in mind. As I said, it does not reuse the other two types, it simply defines a new one with the values you described above. -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/
The issue with that is that I cannot express what A and what min is. I would like to assign a type to them e.g. "Param Name" and "Unit" or sth. like that.

I don't know of a way to combine such types in the way you intend to. -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/
