This example shows how to extend simple type content in a schema and an XML document. The example extends temperature of base type int to include a unit attribute of type string.

Here is the schema:

<complexType temperature>
  <simpleContent>
    <extension base="int">
     <attribute name="unit" type="string"/> 
    </extension>
  </simpleContent>
</complexType>

Here is the excerpt from an XML document:

<temperature unit= "celsius">15</temperature>

Here is the XOM representation:

Class Temperature extends IlrXmlObject
{
   int content ;
   String unit ;
...
}
