XML Schema Importer Limitations

The XML Schema Importer does not support the features described in this section.

If these features are present within the XML Schema being imported, and the type

properties set by the importer are not valid, then you must manually modify the

type tree in the Type Designer. You do not need to manually generate the entire

type tree.

XML Schema Limitations

The XML Schema Importer does not support BizTalk, XDR, or provider-specific

XML schemas. Use provider tools to convert these schemas to the latest W3C

schema specification. For example, a tool is available from BizTalk to convert the

BizTalk schema to the W3C schema.

The schema passed to the importer must conform to the latest XML schema

specification identified at the following location:

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema

The importer expects the schema to specify the previous URL for the XML Schema

namespace.

If the imported schema specifies an obsolete W3C XML Schema namespace

(http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema or

http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema), the importer reports a warning and

attempts to process the schema. In order for this schema to be processed

successfully, it still must stay in conformance with the latest XML Schema

specification.

XML Schema Element Limitations

The following schema elements are not supported:

♦ any

♦ anyAttribute

The importer parses these elements and ensures that they are properly specified,

but does not use them to generate type trees.

The <any> schema element is represented as a text item named anyElem. It

has initiator:

and terminator:
