Nodes in an XML Document

I have developed an xml schema to parse an incoming XML document. The receiving location receives XML documents from 2 channels, one of which has the spelling node in the document "Roookie" instead of "Rookie". Is there a way for my existing xsd to parse this document?

You can probably preprocess the wrong XML file, for example with this simple XSL stylesheet:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="no"/>

<xsl:template match="Roookie">
        <Rookie>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
        </Rookie>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*|node()" name="defaultRule">
        <xsl:copy>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

You will need to replace elements in the document or change the xsd to work with the new document format.

Just change your schema to accept the choice between two nodes (Rookie or Roookie), not just 1 node named Rookie. Both nodes are of the same type. Of course, if Roo (o) kie has complex content, then you need to declare a complex type for that content to avoid duplicating the entire structure of the two elements.

Onyl's answer is to change the bad message. Xsd is a contract and must be respected through dispatch systems. If you do not have this control over the feeding systems, I would suggest making a second circuit with a new name and taking into account its spelling error. I'll start modifying your contract / xsd for every error in the post, you will increase the complexity and decrease the maintainability.
