XSD - element, element value and attribute ?

[Matthet]

Hi,

I'm defining an element that
is based on simpleType named "myPatternType"

<xsd:element name="MyElement">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:simpleContent>
<xsd:extension base="myPatternType">
<xsd:attribute name="myAttr" type="myAttrType"
use="optional"/>
</xsd:extension>
</xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

I need to add
<xsd:maxLength value="10"> to MyElement
and I can't find a way to do it.

Thx for any help

You can either add that restriction in you myPatternType like the following <xsd:simpleType name="myPatternType"> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"> <xsd:maxLength value="10"/> <xsdattern value="[A-Z]{2}" /> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> or you have to declare another type which restricts myPatternType to the maxLength value and the use that type to extend to include the attribute.

Cheers.

Thx,
so you are saying that it is not possible to put my maxLength to my element?!

myPatternType is used in few elements
myAttrType is also used in few attributes
and
I would like maxLength to be used in only one element
so I think that defining new myPatternType2 is not good idea.
