Any Element Properties

To view or edit an any element's properties, double-click its diagram symbol or Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property

Description

Stereotype

Extends the semantics of the object. You can enter a stereotype directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in an extension file.

Minimum

Minimum number of times the Any can occur. To specify that the Any is optional, set this attribute to zero

Maximum

Maximum number of times the Any can occur. For an unlimited number of times, select unbounded

ID

[XSD only] ID of the Any. Its value must be of type ID and unique within the model containing the Any.

Namespace

[XSD only] Namespaces containing the objects that can be used. If you select ##any, objects from any namespace can be used. If you select ##other, objects from any namespace other than the target namespace of the schema can be used. If you select ##local, objects that are not qualified with a namespace can be used. If you select ##targetNamespace, objects from the target namespace of the schema can be used. If you type a combination of URI references, ##targetNamespace and ##local, provided they are separated by a white space, objects from this combination can be used.

Process contents

[XSD only] Indicator of how an XML processor should handle validation of XML documents containing the objects specified by the Any. If you select Strict, the XML processor must obtain the schema and validate any object of the specified namespaces. If you select Lax, the XML processor will try to obtain the schema and validate any object of the specified namespaces. If the schema cannot be found, no error will occur. If you select Skip, the XML processor will not try to validate the objects of the specified namespaces.

Keywords

Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.
