create XML from schema with union.

[kevinh448]

I need to build XML for a line item.

here is the schema:

<xs:simpleType name="emptyString">
	<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
		<xs:enumeration value="" />
	</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

<xs:simpleType name="priceValue">
	<xs:restriction base="xs:decimal">
		<xs:totalDigits value='10'/>
		<xs:fractionDigits value='2'/>
		<xs:minInclusive value='0'/>
		<xs:maxInclusive value='99999999.99'/>
	</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>


<xs:simpleType name="lineItemType">
	<xs:union memberTypes="priceValue emptyString" />
</xs:simpleType>


<xs:element name="lineItem">
	<xs:complexType>
		<xs:simpleContent>
			<xs:extension base="lineItemType">
				<xs:attribute name="quantity" type="xs:unsignedInt" use="required"/>
				<xs:attribute name="productID" type="xs:string"/>
				<xs:attribute name="owned" type="booleanInt"/>
				<xs:attribute name="productName" type="xs:string"/>
				<xs:attribute name="productCampaignResourceURL" type="resourceURI"/>
				<xs:attribute name="lineItemStatus" type="xs:string"/>
			</xs:extension>
		</xs:simpleContent>
	</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

<xs:element name="lineItems">
  <xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
		<xs:element ref="lineItem" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

 

My XML doesnt comply. I've never dealth with XML unions and am kind of confused. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

 

	   
<lineItems>
<lineItem id="1">
		<quantity>1</quantity>
		<productId>$productID</productId>
		<owned>0</owned>
</lineItem>
</lineItems>

 

I just need to figure out how to input a lineItem appropriately. Having major issues getting the API to accept my request just because of the XML. Point me in the right direction and ill be out of your hair! =)

Can you show the full schema and full XML?

 

Edit: For what it's worth here are a few problems I can see:

1. quantity/owned/etc. should be attributes (not child elements)

2. productId should be productID

3. the id attribute isn't allowed (in the partial schema you gave)

 

As for the union in there, all it means is that the lineItem can contain either some text (a price between 0 and 99999999.99) or no text.

 

Thanks
