Binding Declaration

---

The configuration file format enables customized binding without requiring modification of the source schema. The schema component to which the binding declaration applies must be identified explicitly. Minimally, a configuration file is of the following format.

<bindings version="1.0">
 
   <schemaBindings schemaLocation = "xsd:anyURI">
 
      <nodeBindings node = "xsd:string">*
 
          <node bindings declaration>
 
      <nodeBindings>
 
   </schemaBindings>
 
</bindings>
 

The schemaBindings node has the attribute schemaLocation to refer to a schema. The nodeBindings node has the attribute node to construct a reference to a node within the schema. The binding declaration is applied to this node by the binding compiler. The attribute values are interpreted as follows:

schemaLocation:	A URI reference to an XML schema document.
node:	An XPath 1.01 expression that identifies the schema node within a schema with which to associate binding declarations.
