Esquemas XML de edição

Editar um esquema XML é um dos recursos mais importantes do modelo de objeto (SOM) de esquema. Todas as propriedades de pre-esquema- compilação de SOM podem ser usadas para alterar os valores existentes em um esquema XML. O esquema XML pode então ser recompilado para refletir as alterações.

A primeira etapa em editar um esquema carregado no SOM é passar pelo esquema. Você deve estar familiarizado com o atravessamento de um esquema usando o SOM API antes de tentar editar um esquema. Você também deve estar familiarizado com as propriedades pré-compilação e de POST-esquema- compilação de POST-Esquema- compilação - Infoset (PSCI).

Editando um esquema XML

Nesta seção, dois exemplos de código são fornecidos, ambos editar o esquema de cliente criado no tópico Compilar esquemas XML. O primeiro exemplo de código a seguir adiciona um novo elemento de PhoneNumber para o elemento de Customer e o segundo exemplo de código a seguir adiciona um novo atributo de Title para o elemento de FirstName . O primeiro exemplo também usa a coleção de XmlSchema.Elements de POST-esquema- compilação como os meios para percorrer o esquema de cliente quando o segundo exemplo de código usar a coleção de XmlSchema.Items de pre-esquema- compilação.

Exemplo do elemento de PhoneNumber

Isso primeiro exemplo de código a seguir adiciona um novo elemento de PhoneNumber para o elemento de Customer do cliente. O exemplo de código editar o esquema de cliente nas seguintes etapas.

  1. Adiciona o esquema de cliente a um novo objeto de XmlSchemaSet e compilá-lo em seguida. Todos os avisos de validação de esquema e leitura ou compilação encontrada erros o esquema são tratados pelo delegado de ValidationEventHandler .

  2. Recupera o objeto compilada de XmlSchema de XmlSchemaSet iterando sobre a propriedade de Schemas . Porque o esquema é compilado, as propriedades de (PSCI) de POST-Esquema- compilação - Infoset são acessíveis.

  3. Cria o elemento de PhoneNumber usando a classe de XmlSchemaElement , a restrição de tipo simples de xs:string usando XmlSchemaSimpleType e XmlSchemaSimpleTypeRestriction classe, adiciona um aspecto padrão da propriedade de Facets de restrição, e adicione a restrição à propriedade de Content do tipo simples e de tipo simples a SchemaType do elemento de PhoneNumber .

  4. Efetua iterações sobre cada XmlSchemaElement na coleção de Values de coleção de XmlSchema.Elements de POST-esquema- compilação.

  5. Se QualifiedName do elemento é "Customer", obtém o tipo complexo do elemento de Customer usando a classe de XmlSchemaComplexType e a partícula a sequência de tipo complexo usando a classe de XmlSchemaSequence .

  6. Adicionar o novo elemento de PhoneNumber a sequência que contém FirstName e elementos existentes de LastName usando a coleção de Items de pre-esquema- compilação de sequência.

  7. Finalmente, reprocessa e cria o objeto modificado de XmlSchema usando os métodos de Reprocess e de Compile da classe de XmlSchemaSet e grava no console.

A seguir está o exemplo de código completo.

A seguir, o esquema modificado de cliente criado no tópico Compilar esquemas XML.

  <xs:element name="Customer">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="FirstName" type="xs:string" />
        <xs:element name="LastName" type="tns:LastNameType" />
        <xs:element name="PhoneNumber">           <xs:simpleType>             <xs:restriction base="xs:string">               <xs:pattern value="\d{3}-\d{3}-\d(4)" />             </xs:restriction>           </xs:simpleType>         </xs:element>

Exemplo de atributo de título

O segundo exemplo de código, adicione um novo atributo de Title para o elemento de FirstName do cliente. No primeiro exemplo de código, o tipo de elemento de FirstName é xs:string. Para o elemento de FirstName tem um atributo juntamente com o conteúdo de cadeia de caracteres, seu tipo deve ser alterado para um tipo complexo com um modelo de conteúdo de conteúdo simples de extensão.

O exemplo de código editar o esquema de cliente nas seguintes etapas.

  1. Adiciona o esquema de cliente a um novo objeto de XmlSchemaSet e compilá-lo em seguida. Todos os avisos de validação de esquema e leitura ou compilação encontrada erros o esquema são tratados pelo delegado de ValidationEventHandler .

  2. Recupera o objeto compilada de XmlSchema de XmlSchemaSet iterando sobre a propriedade de Schemas . Porque o esquema é compilado, as propriedades de (PSCI) de POST-Esquema- compilação - Infoset são acessíveis.

  3. Cria um novo tipo complexo para o elemento de FirstName usando a classe de XmlSchemaComplexType .

  4. Cria uma nova extensão de conteúdo simples, com um tipo base de xs:string, usando as classes de XmlSchemaSimpleContent e de XmlSchemaSimpleContentExtension .

  5. Cria o novo atributo de Title usando a classe de XmlSchemaAttribute , com SchemaTypeName de xs:string e adicione o atributo a extensão de conteúdo simples.

  6. Defina o modelo de conteúdo de conteúdo simples para a extensão de conteúdo simples e o modelo de conteúdo do tipo complexo para o conteúdo simples.

  7. Adicionar o novo tipo complexo à coleção de XmlSchema.Items de pre-esquema- compilação.

  8. Efetua iterações sobre cada XmlSchemaObject na coleção de XmlSchema.Items de pre-esquema- compilação.

Observação

Como o elemento de FirstName não é um elemento global no esquema, não está disponível em coleções de XmlSchema.Items ou de XmlSchema.Elements . O exemplo de código posicionar o elemento de FirstName posicionando o primeiro elemento de Customer .

O primeiro exemplo de código atravessou o esquema usando a coleção de XmlSchema.Elements de POST-esquema- compilação. Nesse exemplo, a coleção de XmlSchema.Items de pre-esquema- compilação é usada para percorrer o esquema. Quando ambas as coleções fornecem acesso aos elementos globais no esquema, iterar através da coleção de Items é mais demorado porque você deve iterar todos os elementos globais no esquema e não tem nenhuma propriedades de PSCI. Coleções de PSCI (XmlSchema.Elements, XmlSchema.Attributes, XmlSchema.SchemaTypes, e assim por diante) fornecem acesso direto a seus elementos, atributos globais, tipos e suas propriedades de PSCI.

  1. Se XmlSchemaObject é um elemento, cujo QualifiedName é "Customer", obtém o tipo complexo do elemento de Customer usando a classe de XmlSchemaComplexType e a partícula a sequência de tipo complexo usando a classe de XmlSchemaSequence .

  2. Efetua iterações sobre cada XmlSchemaParticle na coleção de XmlSchemaSequence.Items de pre-esquema- compilação.

  3. Se XmlSchemaParticle é um elemento, que é QualifiedName é "FirstName", define SchemaTypeName do elemento de FirstName para o novo tipo complexo de FirstName .

  4. Finalmente, reprocessa e cria o objeto modificado de XmlSchema usando os métodos de Reprocess e de Compile da classe de XmlSchemaSet e grava no console.

A seguir está o exemplo de código completo.
