Dynaminc Lists in XML Schema

[Lawrence Staffieri]

In our application we have things like Allergies, Medications, etc…  We need to be able to send this information to our customers.

In our current setup, our application makes a call to a web-service when an event had been done that triggers a message.  That webservice pulls data from our database and delivers it to cloverleaf in XML.  The XML is then converted to HL7 in cloverleaf and passed to the customer via the CSC.

The number of Allergies, Medications, etc… is variable.

My question is: What is the best way to set up the XML Schema so that it will allow variable length lists?

Lawrence,

Shouldn’t the Web Service providers provide the schema, etc. for their messages?

We are the web service provider.  The problem is, we are unsure how to setup a schema that has a Dynamic List.
