Accessing group refs from XSModelGroup
Hi,
XSModelGroup has method getParticles() which returns a list of particles
within the modelGroup. If one of the particles is a group reference
getParticles() seems to return the particles within the group. Is there any
way to get the group reference rather than the contents of the group?

Just out of curiosity - what problems are those?

Schemas are irrelevant here. You either need to have a DTD which
declares these attributes to have type CDATA, or have no DTD at all.
Either will work. (For experts only: yes, there is a third
possibility. YOu coudl have a DTD which does not declare the
attributes.) Whether or not there is a schema should have no effect
on this.

Okay, that seems the way to go, but..... does anyone maybe know how to
insert a character reference
with MSXML? Sorry for being kinda off-topic now.
This seems to be the source of the problem, because MSXML does not escape
line feeds when setting an attribute.
And if I want to add a character entity it escapes the & in the reference
(&#10;)

Could you tell me how I can use the CDATA type in schema's? If I use
xsd:CDATA it complains
that it finds it in some namespace, but wants an import for it.... however
if I do that then I get more strange
error messages from Xerces.

You can escape these with character references. You also need to make
sure that the attribute is either declared to have type CDATA in the
DTD or not declared at all.
In the words of XML co-editor Tim Bray, "we screwed up in letting
attribute normalization into XML. It still boggles my mind in
retrospect that during the discussions back in 96-97, nobody piped
up to say 'why are you morons doing this?' Because we probably would
have said 'D'oh, right, lose it.' Sigh."

Don't use an attribute: use a nested element with content and ensure
that you specify whitespace preservation.

Preserving whitespace in attributes
Posted by Robert van Loenhout <r....@greenvalley.nl>.
Hi,
Is there some way to preserve whitespace, including line feeds, in attribute
values?
They are always reduced to a single space. I know it is supposed to do this,
but isn't there some way to work around the problems caused by it?
Thanks for any help.
