Expanding a Complex Type

A schema can define a complex type that is a base type for more than one type. For example, a Publication can be a Magazine or a Newspaper. When you create the XML view, you can choose to use Publication as a Magazine or a Newspaper type.

When you view a complex type in the XPath Navigator, you can view the derived types.

To expand a complex type:

Highlight the complex type in the XPath Navigator.

The Expand Complex Types list shows derived types.

Select the type you want to use.

If you add the component to an XML definition, the definition contains the type you select.
