Question

Background

Validate an XML document using a schema.

Problem

The simplest form of the problem is shown in two files.

XML Document

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<recipe
  xmlns:r="http://www.namespace.org/recipe">

<r:description>
  <r:title>sugar cookies</r:title>
</r:description>

</recipe>

XSD Document

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsd:schema
   version="1.0"
   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
   xmlns:r="http://www.namespace.org/recipe">

  <xsd:complexType name="recipe">
    <xsd:choice>
      <xsd:element name="description" type="descriptionType"
        minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" />
    </xsd:choice>
  </xsd:complexType>

  <xsd:complexType name="descriptionType">
    <xsd:all>
      <xsd:element name="title">
        <xsd:simpleType>
          <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
            <xsd:minLength value="5" />
            <xsd:maxLength value="55" />
          </xsd:restriction>
        </xsd:simpleType>
      </xsd:element>
    </xsd:all>
  </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
