[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-175?page=comments#action_12427901 ] Johannes Stamminger commented on XMLBEANS-175: ----------------------------------------------
I just tried to switch to XmlDecimal ... but it fails the same way as when using the reported mechanism: final XmlDecimal decimal = XmlDecimal.Factory.newInstance(); decimal.setBigDecimalValue(new BigDecimal("4.0E+7")); assertFalse(decimal.xmlText().contains("E")); fails, the "4.0E+7" stays unchanged. But the following works, event with the 1E-8 reported not doing so in my first workaround: decimal.setStringValue(new BigDecimal("4.0E+7").toPlainString()); assertFalse(decimal.xmlText().contains("E")); decimal.setStringValue(new BigDecimal("1E-8").toPlainString()); assertFalse(decimal.xmlText().contains("E")); > Validation of decimal in exponential representation fails > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: XMLBEANS-175 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-175 > Project: XMLBeans > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Validator > Affects Versions: Version 2 > Reporter: Johannes Stamminger > Assigned To: Radu Preotiuc-Pietro > Attachments: TestExponent.jar, TestExponent.xsd, > XMLBeansExponentTest.java > > > Having an attribute of type xsd:decimal.
