[xsd-users] C++/Parser: parsing of <xsd:attribute>

[Boucher, Robert J]

Hello!
I have a question on how to properly handle <xsd:attribute> when parsing
a document.  I use the following schema:

	<xsd:complexType name="ItemType">
		<xsd:sequence>
			<xsd:element name="doc" type="xsd:string"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" />
		</xsd:sequence>
		<xsd:attribute name="name" type="xsd:string"
use="optional" />
		<xsd:attribute name="create" type="xsd:boolean"
use="optional" default="false" />
	</xsd:complexType>

When I generate the templates, I get the following parser hooks in the
ItemType template:
        virtual void pre ();
        virtual void doc (const _xsd_doc_&);
        virtual void name (const _xsd_name_&);
        virtual void create (const _xsd_create_&);
        virtual _xsd_ItemType_ post ();

However, when I use the template and instantiate it, I can see that the
doc() method is called property, but I never see name() or create() get
called.  Tracing the application, I noticed that I can "capture" the
presence of attributes if I provide an implementation of the
_attribute_impl() method.  In my testing, I also note the name() and
create() never get called.

So my question is: what is the proper way of parsing attributes?   Do I
need to implement _attribute_impl() or is there something else I need to
do to have the parser call the name() & create() methods explicitly?

Thank you very much for your time,
