So when I put in the use ="required"
attribute into my schema for an XML assignment, I get the following message:
s4s-att-not-allowed: Attribute 'use' cannot appear in element 'element'.
What does it mean? It doesn't seem to be affecting my code at all, and the use attribute is required for this assignment.
Schema Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="Inventory">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Items" use="required">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="PartID" type="xs:ID" use="required"/>
<xs:element name="Part_Desc" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
<xs:element name="Price" type="xs:decimal" use="required"/>
<xs:restriction base="xs:decimal">
<xs:fractionDigits value="2"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="vendor_id" type="xs:int" use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
And here is my XML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Inventory xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="exam.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Items vendor_id="2">
<PartID>a101</PartID>
<Part_Desc>Keyboard</Part_Desc>
<Price>79.99</Price>
</Items>
<Items vendor_id="5">
<PartID>a404</PartID>
<Part_Desc>Wireless Mouse</Part_Desc>
<Price>59.99</Price>
</Items>
<Items vendor_id="3">
<PartID>a120</PartID>
<Part_Desc>2 GB USB Drive</Part_Desc>
<Price>18.99</Price>
</Items>
<Items vendor_id="8">
<PartID>c506</PartID>
<Part_Desc>24" Monitor</Part_Desc>
<Price>459.99</Price>
</Items>
</Inventory>
The code seems to work still, there are not errors.
