How Does FrameMaker Support XML Schemas?

Hi All,

I'm wondering how FM supports XML Schemas. I need to validate the uniqnuess of the value of an element in my XML. Let's say I have an XML like this one:

<Param>

     <name>Parameter 1 name</name>

     <description>Parameter 1 description</description>

     <code>12345</code>

</Param>

<Param>

     <name>Parameter 2 name</name>

     <description>Parameter 2 description</description>

     <code>6789</code>

</Param>

The value of <code> must be unique throughout the XML file. As far as I know, I can add a validation of the uniqnuess of <code> into my XML schema. The question is whether this uniqnuess check will be supported by FM.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you very much!

It should (though I have not tested it myself). Framemaker 11 uses XercesC 2.7 for parsing the incoming/outgoing XML and it supports unique constrains. EDD cannot check the possible violation, however.
