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

Specifies the minimum number of times the object can occur. Enter zero to specify that it is optional.

Maximum

Specifies the maximum number of times the object can occur. Select unbounded to specify unlimited instances.

ID

Specifies the ID of the object, which must be unique within the model.

Namespace

Specifies the namespaces containing the elements that can be used. You can enter a white space delimited list with URI references or choose from:
  • ##any - elements from any namespace can be used.
  • ##other - elements from any namespace other than the target namespace of the schema can be used.
  • ##local - elements that are not qualified with a namespace can be used.
  • ##targetNamespace - elements from the target namespace of the schema can be used.

Process contents

Specifies how an XML processor should handle validation of XML documents containing the elements specified by the Any element. You can choose from:
  • Lax - the processor will try to obtain the schema and validate any element of the specified namespaces. If the schema cannot be found, no error will occur.
  • Skip - the processor will not try to validate the elements.
  • Strict - the processor must obtain the schema and validate any element of the specified namespaces.

Keywords

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