Hi,

I would like to know how to access the multiplicity property for an element.
Let suppose that I have an xmlbeans object called obj1. I can call method obj1.schemaType().getProperties(). I will get an array of SchemaProperty and I could find out for sub-element what's their multiplicity (0..1, 1, 0..infinite ...) using methods getMinOccurs() and getMaxOccurs().
But this is valid for sub-elements.
I would like to get this info for the current element (obj1). In the parent context what's the bounds for obj1 ?
It seems that the info is not accessible using this techniques. Using debugger and inspecting schelmatype I see that minOccurs and maxOccurs are always equals to 1 !?
Or should I go back to parent ? (this is not very helpful because in my algorithm I assume obj1 is like a root, only looking at child elements)

Can someone gives me some light on this ?

I need this for an xml comparison algorithm, and I would like to make distinction on matching rule depending if the element is optional or mandatory (that's why I am trying to get info about bounds)

Thanks,
Bruno
