[xsd-users] Defining key and key ref

[Carmi, Eyal (Eyal)]

Strange, Are you aware of a bug in XMLSpy (I'm using it as my
editor/validate) that may cause this problem? (It shows that the XML is
valid...)

Anyways, 
Thank you very much.

I tried your schema and test xml with xsd-1.9.0 and xerces-c-2.7.0 and
everything works as expected:

test.xsd:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<xs:element name="MyFilters">
  <xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="Filter" type="FilterType" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="4"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>

  <xs:key name="FilterKey">
    <xs:selector xpath="Filter"/>
    <xs:field xpath="@pKey"/>
  </xs:key>
</xs:element>

<xs:complexType name="FilterType">
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="data1" type="xs:integer"/>
    <xs:element name="data2" type="xs:integer" minOccurs="0"/>
  </xs:sequence>

  <xs:attribute name="pKey" type="xs:string"/> </xs:complexType>

</xs:schema>


test.xml:

<MyFilters xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
           xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="test.xsd">

  <Filter pKey="A">
    <data1>-0</data1>
    <data2>-0</data2>
  </Filter>

  <Filter pKey="A">
    <data1>-0</data1>
    <data2>-0</data2>
  </Filter>

</MyFilters>


driver.cxx:

#include <iostream>
#include "test.hxx"

int
main ()
{
  try
  {
    MyFilters ("test.xml");
  }
  catch (xml_schema::parsing const& e)
  {
    std::cerr << e << std::endl;
    return 1;
  }
}


$ xsd cxx-tree test.xsd
$ g++ driver.cxx test.cxx -lxerces-c
$ ./driver
/tmp/test.xml:9:20 error: Duplicate key value declared for identity
constraint of element 'MyFilters'.
