Datatype question

[bn...@123india.com]

Hello,
I guess the xml message below is valid soap message.
But i question regarding data types.

s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<s:Body>
<purchaseOrder xmlns="urn:po-processor" orderDate="1999-10-20">
    <shipTo country="US">
        <name>Alice Smith</name>
        <street>123 Maple Street</street>
        <city>Mill Valley</city>
        <state>CA</state>
        <zip>90952</zip>
        <quantatiy>12</quantatiy> 
    </shipTo>
</purchaseOrder>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>
   
How will i associate the types with the above elements
for example if i want 
<name> should be string
<street> shoulb be string
<city>   should be string
<state>  should be string
<zip>    shoulb be string
<quantatiy> shoub be interger. Can somebody tell me
how to modify above message so that it has type associated with above elements. I have an idea how to write it , but just wanted confirm it. 



Thanks guys
Basa

The xsi:type attribute is used to specify the type of an element.  SOAP
"primitive" types are, e.g., xsd:string, xsd:int.  Of course, xsi and xsd are
namespace aliases which much be defined to refer to the proper URIs elsewhere
within the XML.

Examples:

         <zip xsi:type="xsd:string">90952</zip>
         <quantity xsi:type="xsd:int">12</quantity>
