[jdom-interest] Schema validation

[Boris Mann]

I'm not a 100% certain on this, but from your included XMLSchema, you
*haven't* defined "ULLPreQualificationRequest".

The proper syntax should be:

<xsd:complexType name="ULLPreQualificationRequest">
    <xsd:sequence>
    ...
    </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

Also, the "Address" element should be changed to follow the same format.

Another way to do it would be to define Address separately, like so:

<xsd:complexType name="AddressType">
    <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="Locale" type="xsd:string"/>
        <xsd:element name="Type" type="xsd:string"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

Then, in your definition of "ULLPreQualificationRequest", you would put:

<xsd:element name="Address" type="AddressType" />


Might want to check it out on an XMLSchema mailing list. Also, I have found
this URL to be the most useful as an XMLSchema reference:
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/11/29/schemas/part1.html

Hope this helps,
