Don't do that. Create an abstractBeanFactoryType then extend in two different ways in the different schemas: | <xsd:complexType name="abstract-BeanfactoryType"> | ... | </xsd:sequence> | <xsd:attribute name="name" type="xsd:string" use="optional"/> | <!-- NO class here --> | </xsd:complexType> | | <complexType name="beanFactoryType"> | <complexContent> | <extension base="abstract-BeanFactoryType"> | </extension> | <xsd:attribute name="class" type="xsd:token" use="required"/> | </complexContent> | </complexType> | You can then choose not to have the class attribute at all in your type.
