Hi, I noticed that Xerces-C 3.1.1 does not validate things that Altova XMLSpy 2011 and the XML Parser of the .NET Framework 2.0 do validate. Reading the W3C standards, I fear that Xerces-C is not fully standards conform, but I want to have some others have a look at it before I file a JIRA issue.
First issue: Whitespace in xsi:type =================================== Adding space characters to the front or end of type names is accepted by Xerces. But adding other whitespace chars (TAB, CR, LF) is not accepted: Error at file D:\Out\Xerces\WhitespaceInXsiType/test.xml, line 3, char 54 Message: type '? UIntegerT' specified in 'xsi:type' cannot be resolved Error at file D:\Out\Xerces\WhitespaceInXsiType/test.xml, line 3, char 54 Message: attribute 'bitLength' is not declared for element 'Datatype' Schema: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsd:schema xmlns="http://www.example.com/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/"; elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> <xsd:element name="Variable"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="Datatype" type="DatatypeT"/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> <xsd:complexType name="DatatypeT" abstract="true"> <xsd:attribute name="id" type="xsd:token"/> </xsd:complexType> <xsd:complexType name="UIntegerT"> <xsd:complexContent> <xsd:extension base="DatatypeT"> <xsd:attribute name="bitLength" type="xsd:unsignedInt" use="required"/> </xsd:extension> </xsd:complexContent> </xsd:complexType> <xsd:complexType name="OctetStringT"> <xsd:complexContent> <xsd:extension base="DatatypeT"> <xsd:attribute name="fixedLength" type="xsd:unsignedInt" use="required"/> </xsd:extension> </xsd:complexContent> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:schema> Instance: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Variable xmlns="http://www.example.com/"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.example.com/ Test.xsd"> <Datatype xsi:type=" UIntegerT" bitLength="12"/> </Variable> Second issue: xsi:type does not seem work in the main element ============================================================= Xerces complains: Error at file D:\Out\Xerces\XsiTypeInMainElement/test.xml, line 2, char 188 Message: type of element 'Datatype' is abstract; use 'xsi:type' to specify non -abstract type instead Error at file D:\Out\Xerces\XsiTypeInMainElement/test.xml, line 2, char 188 Message: attribute 'bitLength' is not declared for element 'Datatype' Schema: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsd:schema xmlns="http://www.example.com/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/"; elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> <xsd:element name="Datatype" type="DatatypeT"/> <xsd:complexType name="DatatypeT" abstract="true"> <xsd:attribute name="id" type="xsd:token"/> </xsd:complexType> <xsd:complexType name="UIntegerT"> <xsd:complexContent> <xsd:extension base="DatatypeT"> <xsd:attribute name="bitLength" type="xsd:unsignedInt" use="required"/> </xsd:extension> </xsd:complexContent> </xsd:complexType> <xsd:complexType name="OctetStringT"> <xsd:complexContent> <xsd:extension base="DatatypeT"> <xsd:attribute name="fixedLength" type="xsd:unsignedInt" use="required"/> </xsd:extension> </xsd:complexContent> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:schema> Instance: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Datatype xsi:type="UIntegerT" bitLength="12" xmlns="http://www.example.com/"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.example.com/ Test.xsd"/> With best regards, Herbert Oppmann Siemens AG Industry Sector Industry Automation Division Industrial Automation Systems Research & Development I IA AS R&D DH N 3 Gleiwitzer Str. 555 90475 Nuremberg, Germany Tel.: +49 (911) 895-2657 Fax: +49 (911) 895-152657 mailto:[email protected] Siemens Aktiengesellschaft: Chairman of the Supervisory Board: Gerhard Cromme; Managing Board: Peter Loescher, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer; Wolfgang Dehen, Brigitte Ederer, Heinrich Hiesinger, Joe Kaeser, Barbara Kux, Hermann Requardt, Siegfried Russwurm, Peter Y.
