Property | Type | Meaning |
---|---|---|
Name | String | Specify a name for the object when you create it. Names can consist of virtually any alphanumeric character including the letters A through Z, a through z and the digits 0 through 9. They may also include the following
punctuation characters;
Names can only start with a letter or the underscore character and not with a number, hyphen or period. Names beginning with xml or any variant (for example XmL) are reserved by the XML standards specification. Further details of naming conventions and allowable characters can be found in the Extensible Markup Language (XML) specification that can be found on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web site. |
Namespace | Enumerated type | Namespaces are a simple method for qualifying element
and attribute names by associating them with namespaces identified by URI
references. If <no target namespace> is displayed, a namespace has not been set for this object. If the property is inactive, the message set has not been configured to support namespaces. Where the property is active, namespaces that are available for selection are displayed in the drop-down list. |
Nillable | Check box | Select this if you want the element to be able to be defined as null. This is distinct from being empty where there is no data in the element. |
Abstract | Check box | Select this if you do not want the element to appear in the message, but require one of the members of its substitution group to appear in its place. |

Property | Type | Meaning |
---|---|---|
Min Occurs | Integer | Specify the minimum number of times that the object can repeat. The default
is 1. If the value is set to 0, then the object is optional. With the exception of Max Occurs being set to -1, if a value is set for Min Occurs, it must be less than or equal to the value in Max Occurs. |
Max Occurs | Integer | Specify
the maximum number of times that the object can repeat. The default is 1. If this property is not set, then the object can not occur more than once. If this property is set to 0, it is interpreted as if the object does not exist in the message. It can also be set to -1 to indicate that the limit is unbounded and there is no maximum to the number of occurrences. |
