I have been tasked with reviewing/critiquing a giant schema as the first task in a new job. Its impossible to know the business details around it but they want a technical review of the XSD constructs.

This schema will be used to generate factory methods using the Web Services SOA Factory [ http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb931187.aspx ] As such this schema has many nodes which are operations centric (getTransactionData ) and Request-Response nodes under it describing the message.

Here is a typical node describing an operation:

:
- <xs:element name="GetTransactionStatus">
- <xs:complexType>
- <xs:sequence>
- <xs:element name="Request">
- <xs:complexType>
- <xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="TransactionId" type="ABCUrn" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
- <xs:element name="Response">
- <xs:complexType>
- <xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="TransactionId" type="ABCUrn" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Milestones" type="Milestones" />
<xs:element name="IsNewLenderChange" type="xs:boolean" />
<xs:element name="IsNewLenderMessage" type="xs:boolean" />
<xs:element name="IsTemplateChanged" type="xs:boolean" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

How do I go about this task? Where can I find schema best practices?

Hi,
there is no 'best practice' for designing an XML Schema, but only a series of styles from which you can choose the one you like best (Russian Doll, Garden of Eden, Venetian Blinds, see http://developers.sun.com/jsenterprise/nb_enterprise_pack/reference/techart/design_patterns.html for a more detailed explanation).
But as in your case you are working with a schema designed to work tightly with a Web Service-generation tool, you should turn to the documentation of that tool to verify which schema definition it does/doesn't understand when doing the translation.

Hope this helps,
Alberto
