Applying Content to anyAttribute or ANY Elements

You can import an XML schema that contains the anyAttribute, or ANY content element. To use the element in a view, you must define content for the element in the XML Editor. When you import a schema with an anyAttribute or ANY content element, the element appears in the Schema Navigator with no properties. The element does not appear in a view.

For example, the following schema element includes ANY content:

<xs:element name="person">
   <xs:complexType>
   <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="firstname" type="xs:string"/>
      <xs:element name="lastname" type="xs:string"/>
      <xs:any minOccurs="0"/>
   </xs:sequence>
   </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

To apply content to anyAttribute or ANY content:

Click the element content link in the Schema Navigator.

The Edit Any or anyAttribute Type Content dialog box appears.

Click Add Type.

A new row appears.

Choose an element from the list of valid elements in the schema for the XML definition.

Select a cardinality and click OK.

The substituted type appears in the Schema Navigator.
