recursive relationships in xml

[kosaraju.puneeth]

hello,

I need to represent recursive relationship in xml which will be
validated by defined xml schema.

example: check.xml

<a>
<testgroup name="first" result ="pass">
<testgroup name="second">
<test name="OPEN" spec = "0"/>
</testgroup>

<test name="SHORT" spec ="1"/>
</testgroup>

<test name="CLOSE" spec ="1"/>

<testgroup name="third" result ="fail">
<test name="OPEN" spec = "1"/>
</testgroup>

</a>

so i have to write a xml schema which can validate "check.xml"

Thanks in advance.

See below. You'll need to change attribute types to reflect the values they
can take.

<xs:complexType name="testType">
<xs:attribute name="name" use="required" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:attribute name="spec" use="required" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:complexType>

<xs:complexType name="testGroupType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="testgroup" type="testGroupType" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="test" type="testType" minOccurs="0" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name ="name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:attribute name ="result" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:complexType>

<xs:complexType name="aType">
<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="testgroup" type="testGroupType"/>
<xs:element name="test" type="testType"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>

<xs:element name="a" type="aType"/>
