Hello all.  I'm hoping one of you schema gurus can help me with a little
problem I'm having.  I'm trying to specify in a schema that a group of
elements can appear multiple times in any order.  I know I can't use the
[<all>] element because it has a maximum carnality of one.  EX

<xsd:complexType name="myComplexType">
  <xsd:the_type_that_will_make_this_work>
    <!-- I want the two elements below to appear in any order and multiple
times-->
    <xsd:element ref="some_ref" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    <xsd:element ref="some_other_ref" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
  </xsd:the_type_that_will_make_this_work>
</xsd:complexType>


Any help is appreciated.

Hello Dane,

this should do:

<xsd:complexType name="myComplexType">
  <choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
    <xsd:element ref="some_ref" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
    <xsd:element ref="some_other_ref" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
  </choice>
</xsd:complexType>

An <xsd:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">, with the elements
inside the choice having min/maxOccurs of 1 should do what you want
(though I'm not exactly sure of the CR/PR syntax).
