Wildcard element logical properties

Property Type Meaning
Namespace Enumerated type Namespaces are a simple method for qualifying element and attribute names by associating them with namespaces identified by URI references.

If <no target namespace> is displayed, a namespace has not been set for this object.

If the property is inactive, the message set has not been configured to support namespaces.

Where the property is active, namespaces that are available for selection will be displayed in the drop down list.

Property Type Meaning
Process Content Enumerated type If a message contains an attribute that corresponds to a wildcard in the message model, Process Content defines how the attribute is validated.
Select from;
  • strict. The parser can only match against attributes declared in the specified namespace.
  • lax. The parser attempts to match against attributes declared in any accessible namespace. If the specified namespace cannot be found, an error will not be generated.
  • skip. If you select skip the parser does not perform any validation on the attribute.

Occurrences

Property Type Meaning
Min Occurs Integer Specify the minimum number of times that the object can repeat. The default is 1.

If the value is set to 0, then the object is optional.

If a value is set, it must be less than or equal to the value in Max Occurs.

Max Occurs Integer Specify the maximum number of times that the object can repeat. The default is 1.

If this property is not set, then the object can not occur more than once.

It can also be set to -1 to indicate that the limit is unbounded and there are no maximum number of occurrences.
