Hello list. I've following XSD specification:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- Created with Liquid XML Studio 1.0.8.0 (http://www.liquid-technologies.com) --> <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xsd:element name="data"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:choice> <xsd:group ref="elem1" /> <xsd:group ref="elem2" /> </xsd:choice> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> <xsd:group name="elem1"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="order_no" /> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:group> <xsd:group name="elem2"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="order_no" /> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:group> </xsd:schema> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- on ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- final SchemaFactory factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI); final Schema schema = factory.newSchema(xsd); ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I get the following exception ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cos-nonambig: "":order_no and "":order_no (or elements from their substitution group) violate "Unique Particle Attribution". During validation against this schema, ambiguity would be created for those two particles. at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(ErrorHandlerWrapper.java:236) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.error(ErrorHandlerWrapper.java:172) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(XMLErrorReporter.java:382) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.XSConstraints.reportSchemaError(XSConstraints.java:315) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.XSConstraints.fullSchemaChecking(XSConstraints.java:463) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.XMLSchemaLoader.loadGrammar(XMLSchemaLoader.java:530) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.validation.xs.SchemaFactoryImpl.newSchema(SchemaFactoryImpl.java:206) at javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.newSchema(SchemaFactory.java:489) at javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.newSchema(SchemaFactory.java:505) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Possibly this is related to the following bug? http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4996456 >From my point of view reading the W3C Spec, in a choice the group is distinct. So we should be able to use it like i did. Is there a solution or workaround provided by Xerces init self or can anybody tell me how to find an solution in an other JAVA library. I didn't work XML validation that often, but in the past I did use some of the Apache Frameworks. But as I can see in the error discription, Apache is already involved. Attention: The original XSD is more complicatated and shared by different programms in different Languages, C#, .Net, Navision. So, if there is no error in the XSD which will be handled by the other frameworks less strict or leniant, it will be complicated for to me to argue, that we have to change the XSD so that we can handle it in Java.
