Re: Self reference in XML schema?

Hi,

Have a look at the personal.xsd/personal-schema.xml samples from Xerces J.

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-xerces/java/data/
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-xerces/java/data/personal.xsd?view=markup
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/xml-xerces/java/data/personal-schema.xml?content-type=text%2Fplain

Best Regards,
George
