RE : XML schema validation: order matters or not ?

[Celinio Fernandes <cf...@pagesjaunes.fr>]

Hi,
Thanks very much for your answer.

I checked the schema and did not find the <xsd:all> compositor 
so I guess that is why order matters in this case.

Thanks again !

the answer is, of course, it depends.  since you did not include the 
schema it is hard to make a definitive answer.  if your schema was like 
the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
        xmlns="http://test" 
        targetNamespace="http://test">
    <xsd:element name="father" type="father"/>
    <xsd:element name="child1"/>
    <xsd:element name="child2"/>
    <xsd:element name="child3"/>
    <xsd:complexType name="father">
        <xsd:sequence>
            <xsd:element name="child1"/>
            <xsd:element name="child2"/>
            <xsd:element name="child3"/>
        </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
then order does matter because of the <xsd:sequence> compositor but if 
your schema was like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
        xmlns="http://test" 
        targetNamespace="http://test">
    <xsd:element name="father" type="father"/>
    <xsd:element name="child1"/>
    <xsd:element name="child2"/>
    <xsd:element name="child3"/>
    <xsd:complexType name="father">
        <xsd:all>
            <xsd:element name="child1"/>
            <xsd:element name="child2"/>
            <xsd:element name="child3"/>
        </xsd:all>
    </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
then order does not matter because of the <xsd:all> compositor.
