#226 Cannot create a schema with xsd:any

[Eduardo Yánez]

The schema:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://eduardoyanez.sytes.net" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://eduardoyanez.sytes.net">

    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="x" type="xs:integer" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" default="0"/>
      <xs:element name="y" type="xs:integer" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" default="0"/>
    </xs:sequence>

    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
  <xs:element name="model">

      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="version" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" default="1.0"/>
        <xs:element name="shapes" type="TShapes" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
        <xs:any minOccurs="0"/>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

A schema instance to test:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<model xmlns="http://eduardoyanez.sytes.net"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://eduardoyanez.sytes.net shapes.xsd">
  <version>1.0</version>
  <shapes>
    <circle><ratio>5</ratio><center><x>0</x><y>0</y></center></circle>
    <square><side>5</side><ul_corner><x>0</x><y>0</y></ul_corner></square>
    <circle><ratio>5</ratio><center><x>0</x><y>0</y></center></circle>
    <circle><ratio>5</ratio><center><x>0</x><y>0</y></center></circle>
    <square><side>5</side><ul_corner><x>0</x><y>0</y></ul_corner></square>
    <circle><ratio>5</ratio><center><x>0</x><y>0</y></center></circle>
    <circle><ratio>5</ratio><center><x>0</x><y>0</y></center></circle>
    <square><side>5</side><ul_corner><x>0</x><y>0</y></ul_corner></square>
  </shapes>
  <colors></colors>
</model>

The error message:
No declaration foudn for element "colors"

"colors" should be good because xs:any.

version 1.2.1.3

[Zane U. Ji]

The error means that there should be something like below

<xs:element name="colors">
    ...
<xs:element>

in the schema.

Since there is none, the validator don't know if

<colors></colors>

is valid or it should be

<colors>
<color>white</color>
</colors>

[Eduardo Yánez]

Understood, I thought that "any" ment no validation, but it is not, you can put any element but it must be valid. It works after the definition of a "colors" element in the schema.
Thanks.
