Adding attributes to an XML schema

[M Burke]

I am building a schema for a properties file. I want to add a name attribute, but I am not sure how.

It's defined like this in the .xsd...

<xsd:complexType name="coldef" id="coldef">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="iosource" id="iosource" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="iotarget" id="iotarget" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

I want it to appear like this in the XML...
<coldef>
<iosource tablename="">1</iosource>
<iotarget tablename="Customer">ssn</iotarget>
</coldef>

You have defined iosource and iotarget of type xsd:string so they cannot have attributes. Either define a new type with attributes or extend the string type with tha attribute. Haven't tried the 2nd option so not sure if it works.
