RE: [ASN.1] XML Notation

[Ramaswamy R - CTD, Chennai.]

Hi,

 

    Thanks for that clarification, but I guess I had not put the question very clearly. I understand that the following is the X.680 specification for XMLSequenceValue -

---

XMLSequenceValue:
   XMLComponentValueList
 | // empty
 ;

 

XMLComponentValueList:
   XMLNamedValue
 | XMLComponentValueList XMLNamedValue
 ;
 
XMLNamedValue:
   "<" & identifier ">" XMLValue "</" & identifier ">"
 ;

---

    If the above is the grammar for XMLSequenceValue, then under what specification in X.680 is the notation <c/> valid. I understand that the same is valid when the identifier within the Open Tag ("<") and Close Empty Tag ("/>") is a xmlasn1typename. Thanking you.

 

Yours Sincerely
Ramaswamy R

Hi Ramaswamy,

Yes, ASN.1 (2002) does permit the value notation you have used below.
Note, however, that use of <c/> does not indicate the absense of the
OPTIONAL field, but indicates it is present with zero-length value.
