[xsd-users] Support of sequence of choice elements

[Daniel Gustafsson]

Hi,
I have a part in my xsd schema that looks like this

<xsd:complexType name="MyListType">
    <xsd:sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
        <xsd:choice>
           <xsd:element name="Element_A" type="Element_A_Type"> </xsd:elemet>
           <xsd:element name="Element_B" type="Element_B_Type"></xsd:element>
        </xsd:choice>
    </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

That is, I have a list there Element_A and Elemet_B elements can be mixed as wanted.
As I understand, in the xsd data model, my list will be represented as two separate lists;
One list with the Element_A types and one list with the Element_B types.
However, in my application the order of the elements in the list as they appear in the xml file are important.
Does xsd support any way to iterate over  my list and keep the order of the elements intact??
Or do I have to change the schema somehow?

Regards,
Daniel Gustafsson
