Hi Yoann, It seems you are getting the desired behavior, i.e. the type assigned to the element is xs:error. Since xs:error is just a special simple type definition, whose name is error in the XSD namespace, Xerces-J is throwing the right error message (no attributes are allowed for simple types). You are looking for a specific message, which in these case is an invalid value for an attribute. You would need to use assertions to specify that your attribute can only be of two values and you would probably get an error message telling you that the assertion failed.

We're still working on implementing these features. It's possible support for xs:error isn't there yet or isn't correct. I haven't looked at this much though. Khaled, Mukul and/or Hiranya would probably have more insight. Thanks.
