I believe it says the XPath in an <assert> cannot "look up" the XML tree. That is, it can't reference a parent, grandparent, etc. Is that correct? Consider this instance document: <Document classification="secret"> <Para classification="unclassified"> ... </Para> <Para classification="secret"> ... </Para> <Para classification="unclassified"> ... </Para> <Para classification="secret"> ... </Para> </Document> Here I place an <assert> on the Para element which attempts to reference the (parent) Document element: <xs:element name="Para"> <xs:complexType> <xs:simpleContent> <xs:extension base="paraType"> <xs:attribute name="classification" type="classificationLevels" use="required"/> <xs:assert test="if (@classification eq 'top-secret') then ../Document/@classification eq 'top-secret') ... /> </xs:extension> </xs:simpleContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> This is not allowed, correct? /RogerReceived on Wednesday, 29 April 2009 13:36:12 GMT |
