Chapter 3 Building an XML model

Defining Any properties

Any allows you to attach any type of object to a choice or a sequence group particle.

For example:

• Generated XSD file:
  
  
  In an XSD file, Any is declared with the <any> tag.
• Generated DTD file:
  
  
  In a DTD file, Any is declared within an <!ELEMENT> tag with the keyword "ANY".
• Generated XDR file:
  
  
  In an XDR file, Any is declared through of an <ElementType> tag (resources in the example) with its model attribute set to "open". Although it appears in a diagram, Any is not considered as an object in an XDR file.

To display an Any property sheet, double-click its symbol in a diagram.
