XSD: how to use 'unique' & 'key'/'keyref' with element values?
- by Koohoolinn
I trying to use and / with element values but I just can't get it to work. If I do it with attrubute values it works like a charm.
Test.xml
<test:config xmlns:test="http://www.example.org/Test"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.example.org/Test Test.xsd ">
<test:location id="id1" path="/path2">
<test:roles>
<test:role>role1</test:role>
<test:role>role2</test:role>
<test:role>role2</test:role> <!-- DUPLICATE: FAIL VALIDATION -->
</test:roles>
<test:action name="action1">
<test:roles>
<test:role>role1</test:role>
<test:role>role1</test:role> <!-- DUPLICATE: FAIL VALIDATION -->
<test:role>role3</test:role> <!-- NOT DEFINED: FAIL VALIDATION -->
</test:roles>
</test:action>
</test:location>
</test:config>
I want ensure that roles are only defined once and that the roles defined under the action element are only those defined at the upper level.
Test.xsd
<xs:element name="config">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="test:location" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="location" type="test:LocationType">
<xs:key name="keyRole">
<xs:selector xpath="test:roles" />
<xs:field xpath="test:role" />
</xs:key>
<xs:keyref name="keyrefRole" refer="test:keyRole">
<xs:selector xpath="test:action/test:roles" />
<xs:field xpath="test:role" />
</xs:keyref>
</xs:element>
<xs:complexType name="LocationType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="test:roles" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="action" type="test:ActionType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
<xs:attribute name="path" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="roles" type="test:RolesType">
<xs:unique name="uniqueRole">
<xs:selector xpath="." />
<xs:field xpath="test:role" />
</xs:unique>
</xs:element>
<xs:complexType name="RolesType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="role" type="xs:string" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="ActionType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="test:roles" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" use="required" />
</xs:complexType>
The validation fails with these messages:

If I comment out the lines that should fail, validation still fails now with these messages:
Description Resource Path Location Type

What am I doing wrong?
