Re: [xsl] Seek a simple XPath 2.0 expression to return union xs: simpleType containing xs:string

Correction:

declare function transitive-members-of-union-type($t) {
     let $m := members-of-union-type($t)
     return $m, $m ! transitive-members-of-union-type(.)
};

You also need to consider a union type U that has a member type V which is 
itself a union type with xs:string as a member - that is, you need to 
consider the transitive membership of the union, not just its direct 
membership.

To do this kind of thing, using XPath directly against the source schema is 
simply not a suitable strategy. You should be running queries against the 
schema component model.

The following query, which uses Saxon extension functions to access the 
schema component model, may be helpful:

declare function all-union-types() {
      saxon:schema("type definition")[.("variety") = "union"]
};

declare function members-of-union-type($t) {
      $t("member type definitions")
};

declare function transitive-members-of-union-type($t) {
     let $m := members-of-union-type($t)
     return $t, $t ! transitive-members-of-union-type(.)
};

declare function union-type-has-transitive-member-type($t, $n as xs:QName) {
   exists ( transitive-members-of-union-type($t) [ .("name") = 
local-name-from-QName($n) and .("target namespace") = 
namespace-uri-from-QName($n) ]
};

all-union-types()[ union-type-has-transitive-member-type(., 
xs:QName('xs:string')) ] ! xs:QName( .("target namespace"), .("name") )

(I've made this output the name of each union type, but it's not clear what 
you would want to output when the union type is anonymous).

Hi Folks,

I seek an XPath 2.0 expression that returns all XML Schema simpleTypes 
containing a union with memberTypes containing the XML Schema string type. 
(Phew! Did you catch all that?)

So, the XPath should return the union simpleType in this schema:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>

  <xs:simpleType name="test">
      <xs:union memberTypes="xs:int xs:string" />
  </xs:simpleType>

</xs:schema>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The XPath should not return the union simpleType in this schema:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>

  <xs:simpleType name="test">
      <xs:union memberTypes="xs:int string"/>
  </xs:simpleType>

 <xs:simpleType name="string">
     <xs:restriction base="xs:string" />
 </xs:simpleType>

</xs:schema>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I created a horrendously complex XPath 2.0 expression. I think it works 
(it's so complex, I'm not sure). Is there a simpler XPath 2.0 expression to 
solve this problem?

Here's the ugly XPath 2.0 expression that I created:

//xs:simpleType[xs:union[@memberTypes]
     [exists(index-of(for $here in ., $i in tokenize(@memberTypes, '\s+') 
return 
      namespace-uri-from-QName(resolve-QName($i, $here)) eq
         'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' and 
     local-name-from-QName(resolve-QName($i, $here)) eq 'string', true()))]]
