RELATIVE-OID

---

There is no built-in XSD type that corresponds to the ASN.1 RELATIVE-OID type. For this reason, a custom type was created in the Objective Systems XSD run-time library (asn1.xsd) to model this type. This type is asn1:RelativeOID and has the following definition:

<xsd:simpleType name="RelativeOID">

<xsd:restriction base="xsd:token">

<xsd:pattern value="\d(\.\d)*"/>

</xsd:restriction>

</xsd:simpleType>

This is similar to the OBJECT IDENTIFIER type discussed in the previous section except in this case, the pattern is simpler. The arc numbers in a RELATIVE-OID are not restricted in any way, hence the simpler pattern. The ASN.1 RELATIVE-OID type is converted into a reference to this custom type as follows:

ASN.1 production:

TypeName ::= RELATIVE-OID

Generated XSD code:

<xsd:simpleType name="TypeName">

<xsd:restriction base="asn1:RelativeOID"/>

</xsd:simpleType>
