Steve Lawrence reassigned DAFFODIL-2033:
----------------------------------------
Assignee: Steve Lawrence
> dfdl:defineVariable defaultType does not properly convert value
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DAFFODIL-2033
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2033
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Middle "End"
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Steve Lawrence
> Assignee: Steve Lawrence
> Priority: Major
>
> The defaultValue attribute in the dfdl:defineVariable element is allowed to
> contain either a DFDL expression or a logical value, for example, the
> following are equivalent
> {code:xml}
> <dfdl:defineVariable name="foo" type="xs:boolean" defaultValue="false" />
> <dfdl:defineVariable name="foo" type="xs:boolean" defaultValue="{ fn:false()
> }" />{code}
> However, Daffodil always treats the defaultValue as an expression, assuming
> curly braces if they are missing. So in the case ofthe logical value,
> Daffodil tries to set the default value to
> {code:xml}
> { false }{code}
> Which isn't valid and result in an error. Instead, we should only treat the
> defaultValue as an expression if curly braces exist. Otherwise, we should
> convert the logical value to the the type using standard string-to-type XML
> conversion methods.
