Hi,

I am facing a problem in validating a xml with schema. I need to write schema which supports attributes for leaf elements. Attached is the sample I tried and the parser IBM XML4C 3.5.1 gives the following error.

Error at file "D:\Buysell.xml", line 4, column 135
   Message: The type 'xs:string' is a simple type. It cannot be used in a deriva
tion by RESTRICTION for a complexType

Can somebody tell me what is wrong with the schema and how can I fix it with the requirement described above. Please help out.

Regards,

Abhay.
