More XML Schema

• The main source for these slides is “The XML Companion” by Bradley• Other resources: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/

Three Major Uses – Same as DTD’s

1. Validation

2. Code Generation

3. Communication

Better than DTD’s

• Good support for namespaces (namespaces came after DTD’s)

• Type Checking (DTD’s use #PCDATA)

See next slide

• XML Syntax (DTD’s are not XML)

• XML tools, like editors, will work with XSDL

From W3CXML SchemaPart 2DataTypes

A Simple Purchase Order

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<recipient country="USA"> <name>Dennis Scannel</name> <street>175 Perry Lea Side Road</street> <city>Waterbury</city> <state>VT</state> <postalCode>15216</postalCode> </recipient>

</purchaseOrder>

Purchase Order XSDL

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.cds-r-us.com" targetNamespace="http://www.cds-r-us.com" > XSDL Standard

namespaceTarget namespace

<xs:element name="purchaseOrder">

<xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="recipient" /> <xs:element ref="order" /> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute name="orderDate" type="xs:string" /> </xs:complexType>

</xs:element>

<xs:element name = "recipient">

<xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="name" /> <xs:element ref="street" /> <xs:element ref="city" /> <xs:element ref="state" /> <xs:element ref="postalCode" /> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute name="country" type="xs:string" /> </xs:complexType>

</xs:element>

<xs:element name = "name" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name = "street" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name = "city" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name = "state" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name = "postalCode" type="xs:short" />

<xs:element name = "order"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="cd" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element>

<xs:element name="cd"> <xs:complexType> <xs:attribute name="artist" type="xs:string" /> <xs:attribute name="title" type="xs:string" /> </xs:complexType> </xs:element>

</xs:schema>

D:..\95-733\examples\XSDL\testing>java Validate po.xml

Valid Document is true

Comments in XSDL

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.cds-r-us.com" targetNamespace="http://www.cds-r-us.com" > <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation>This is a comment.

Element Definitions

• The Element element is used to define an element• The Element element may be empty <xs:element name = "name" type="xs:string" />

• Or, may contain content

<xs:element name="cd"> <xs:complexType> <xs:attribute name="artist" type="xs:string" /> <xs:attribute name="title" type="xs:string" /> </xs:complexType> </xs:element>

Element Definitions

• The Element element may be empty and contain no other attributes

<xs:element name = "purchaseOrder"/>

• This purchaseOrder element may contain anything (more elements and text)

• DTD <!ELEMENT purchaseOrder ANY>

Simple Content

• An element may be defined to hold only a number, word or text

<xs:element name = "city" type="xs:string" />

• DTD <!ELEMENT city (#PCDATA)>

Complex Content

• The element may contain child elements or attributes <xs:element name="purchaseOrder">

<xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="recipient" /> <xs:element ref="order" /> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute name="orderDate" type="xs:string" /> </xs:complexType>

</xs:element>

An indicator on how these elements are to be combinedsequence =>predefined order

Place Holder Element Definitions

</element>

• No content is permitted

DTD <!ELEMENT pageBreak EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST pageBreak>

Namespace Issues

• All element definitions belong to a target document-type namespace

• If a prefix is used for schema elements (as we have done above) then we need to specify that prefix on datatypes to distinguish those defined in XSDL from those the author may define.

<xs:attribute name="orderDate" type="xs:string" />

Occurrence options

• MinOccurs and MaxOccurs

• Default(if not mentioned) MinOccurs = MaxOccurs = “1”

• MinOccurs = “0” element is optional

• MaxOccurs = “unbounded” infinity

Choices And a New Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:co="http://www.myCompany.com" targetNamespace="http://www.myCompany.com" > <annotation> <documentation>This is the company address XSDL document.

Downtown or uptown

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!– addr.xml --><addr xmlns="http://www.myCompany.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.myCompany.com address.xsd"> <downtown> <street>Fifth Avenue</street> </downtown> </addr>

java Validate addr.xml

Valid document is true

Choices

</element>

Choose 1 or none

DTD<!ELEMENT addr (downtown |uptown)? >

Choices

</element>

Choose 1 and then as manyas you like from the same group

DTD<!ELEMENT addr (downtown |uptown)+ >

Embedded Groups

</choice>

</sequence>

Required

Choose as many as you like includingnone

DTD (title, (para | list)*)

Mixed Content

DTD <!ELEMENT para (#PCDATA | emph | name)*>Text is always optional.

Attributes

• May never contain element tags or sub-elements

• So, attribute type values will always be simple types

• By default, attributes are optional <xs:attribute name="orderDate" type="xs:string" />

Attributes

• Can be required, prohibited, optional

<xs:attribute name="orderDate" type="xs:string“ use=“required” />

After removing the attribute ….

D:..\95-733\examples\XSDL\testing>java Validate po.xmlReceived notification of a recoverable error.org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc

complex-type.4: Attribute 'orderDate' must appear on element 'purchaseOrder'.Valid Document is false

Attribute Types

<xs:attribute name="orderDate" type="xs:date“ use=“required” />

Does not validate

<purchaseOrder orderDate="07.23.2001"

Validates

<purchaseOrder orderDate="1955-12-17"
