Your requirement seems to be ambiguous. You say, that you want to declare an attribute as "optional" in the schema, and you also say that, your XML instance document must have that attribute (that means, the attribute must be "mandatory" in the schema). These statements are contradictory. I think, you need to specify your requirements more correctly. -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: j-users-unsubscr...@xerces.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: j-users-h...@xerces.apache.org
