Exception: cvc-complex-type.2.4.b: The content of element 'person' is not comple te. One of '{staff}' is expected

Persons will the root tag. Persons will have the entry of each person with name, age, gender, address. A person can be either a student or staff. student will have rollno, standard and section. If staff, then staffid and subject. Every student must have an address with the following entry- doorno,street,city and state. The admin has come up with an XML document.

Here is my XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<persons>
    <person>
        <name>Tom</name>
        <age>11</age>
        <gender>M</gender>
        <address>
            <doorno>27</doorno>
            <street>Tony's road, koramangala</street>
            <city>Bangalore</city>
            <state>Karnataka</state>
        </address>
        <student>
            <rollno>10</rollno>
            <standard>6</standard>
            <section>A</section>
        </student>  
    </person>
    <person>
        <name>Shiny</name>
        <age>12</age>
        <gender>F</gender>
        <address>
            <doorno>10</doorno>
            <street>Main Bazar, Madiwala</street>
            <city>Bangalore</city>
            <state>Karnataka</state>
        </address>
        <staff>
            <staffid>123</staffid>
            <subject>Maths</subject>
        </staff>
    </person>
</persons>

and my XSD :

            </xs:element>

        </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>

</xs:schema>

Your XSD says that there should be <xs:element name="student"> followed by <xs:element name="staff">, but instead you would like to have "either a student or staff". For this XSD has another element, <xs:choice>:

<xs:choice>
    <xs:element name="student">
        <xs:complexType>
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="rollno" type="xs:integer"/>
            <xs:element name="standard" type="xs:integer"/>
            <xs:element name="section" type="xs:string"/>
        </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>

    <xs:element name="staff">
        <xs:complexType>
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="staffid" type="xs:integer"/>
            <xs:element name="subject" type="xs:string"/>
        </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
</xs:choice>
