About Mapping the <xsd:any> Tag in the XML Schema Wizard

For the case of the XML Schema Wizard, there is only one possible mapping for the <xsd:any> tag, namely as an integration component.

The <xsd:any> tag can contain an attribute called namespace. If the value for that attribute is known, then one or more integration components or even an integration object can be created. If the value for that attribute is not known, an error will be returned to the user saying that the integration object cannot be created for a weakly typed schema.

The value for the attribute being known refers to the situation of the XML Schema Wizard where a schema of targetNamespace value, being the same as that of the namespace value, has been imported by way of the <xsd:import> tag.

For the case of being known, all the global elements belonging to the particular schema of that targetNamespace will be added in place of the tag. So, one or more integration components can potentially be created.

The mapping of the <xsd:anyAttribute> is similar to that of the <xsd:any> tag. In this case, one or more integration component fields can be created.

The <xsd:anyAttribute> tag has an attribute called namespace. If the namespace value is known (the condition for being known was noted in this section), then all the global attributes for that particular schema will be added in place of this tag. Therefore, one or more integration component fields can potentially be created.

In the case where the namespace value is not known, then an error is returned to the user stating that an integration object cannot be created for a weakly typed schema.
