Problem of XML validation

[Cridlig Vincent <vincent.cridlig@loria.fr>]

Hi,

This is to report a possible issue in the Netconf XML schema. I try to 
validate a simple get-config message but I get some errors.
I use the Netconf schema and some sample messages from draft 12.
I tested two "standard" XML schema validator implementations:
- the one from the C library libxml2
- the one from the Java library JAXP.
Twice, I got the result that the <filter> element should be empty.

I think the problem comes from the following complexType. It is the 
exact definition of an empty element.
See http://www.w3schools.com/schema/schema_complex_empty.asp

<xs:complexType name="filterInlineType">
 <xs:complexContent>
   <xs:restriction base="xs:anyType">
     <xs:attribute name="type" type="FilterType" default="subtree"/>
   </xs:restriction>
 </xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>

I changed it to the following :

<xs:complexType name="filterInlineType">
 <xs:complexContent>
   <xs:restriction base="xs:anyType">
     <xs:sequence>
       <xs:any processContents="skip"/>
     </xs:sequence>
     <xs:attribute name="type" type="FilterType" default="subtree"/>
   </xs:restriction>
 </xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>

I put processContents="skip" to not validate the content, especially because a subtree filter may be correct but not xml valid.
But now the problem is that it does not allow text content, only elements (like top). This is a problem for xpath capabilities.
I don't know how to solve it.

Does somebody experiment the same problems ?

Best regards,
Vincent
