I am still getting the same error with the below code. 
 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42365898-1">&lt;xs:element name=&quot;ID&quot; minOccurs=&quot;1&quot; nillable=&quot;false&quot; type=&quot;nonEmptyString&quot;/&gt;

 &lt;xs:pattern value=&quot;(\s*[^\s]\s*)+&quot;/&gt;
 &lt;xs:maxLength value=&quot;15&quot;/&gt;
 &lt;/xs:restriction&gt;
 &lt;/xs:simpleType&gt;

<div>
Because you are not showing the context 
You need to move the named simple type up to the global level ( as a direct child of the schema element)

Below in general is the xsd structure. I haven't included all the elements. &nbsp;The issue is this XSD is provided by different team. They have specific structure for the Order Payload. &nbsp; I can tell them &quot;name&quot; attribute is not supported. 
&lt;xs:element name=&quot;ID&quot; &nbsp;is the new field they have added.

You can only reference named types that are globally declared (as I said two times before) 
Local type declarations need to be anonymous (that of course makes sense, if not you might have ambiguity) 
 
@name is allowed but only on global declarations (directly below root)

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.
