Re: Unique Particle Attribution with xsd:any and xsd:element with different namespaces

Michael rightly wrote that in your schema, the wild-card and the
element particles are in same namespace, so you're getting a UPA
violation.

Here's probably a solution (one of the solutions I guess :)) with few
sample XML and schema documents, which could solve the problem for
you.

test.xsd
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
                     targetNamespace="some-A"
                     xmlns:tns="some-A"
                     xmlns:fault="some-B"
                     elementFormDefault="qualified">

   <xsd:import namespace="some-B" schemaLocation="fault.xsd" />

   <xsd:element name="MyResponse">
       <xsd:complexType>
           <xsd:choice>
              <xsd:any namespace="##targetNamespace" processContents="lax" />
              <xsd:element ref="fault:Fault" />
           </xsd:choice>
       </xsd:complexType>	
   </xsd:element>

</xsd:schema>

fault.xsd
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
                     targetNamespace="some-B"
		     xmlns:fault="some-B"
                     elementFormDefault="qualified">

   <xsd:element name="Fault" type="xsd:integer" />

</xsd:schema>

test1.xml
<MyResponse xmlns="some-A">
     <Fault>
        <Message>test message</Message>
     </Fault>
</MyResponse>

test2.xml
<MyResponse xmlns="some-A">
     <Fault xmlns="some-B">test message</Fault>
</MyResponse>

Here are the validation outcomes for above examples, with Xerces XML
Schema 1.0 engine:
1. Validating test1.xml with test.xsd successfully passes the
validation (here the child of 'MyResponse' is validated by the
wild-card)
2. Validating test2.xml with test.xsd gives following error,
[Error] test2.xml:2:45: cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: 'test message' is
not a valid value for 'integer'.
[Error] test2.xml:2:45: cvc-type.3.1.3: The value 'test message' of
element 'Fault' is not valid.
(here the child of 'MyResponse' is validated by the element
declaration in fault.xsd)

I hope this helps.
