Scott Cantor updated XERCESC-1944: ---------------------------------- Affects Version/s: 3.2.0 3.0.0 3.0.1 3.1.1 3.1.2 3.1.3 3.1.4 > If an element is nil, child elements of this elements do not trigger a > validation error > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: XERCESC-1944 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1944 > Project: Xerces-C++ > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Validating Parser (XML Schema) > Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.2.0, 3.1.3, 3.1.4 > Environment: Windows XP, Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 > Reporter: Andreas Awenius > Fix For: 4.0.0 > > Attachments: shiporder.xml, shiporder.xsd > > > If an element is nil (xsi:nil="true") and this element has child elements, > Xercesc 3.1.0 does not report an error, although it should. > According to this link: > http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-1-20041028/#cvc-elt > an element that is nil may not have any content and any child elements. > This behavior was also verified with Fujitsu's XWand XBRL Processor and > Altovas XMLSpy, which both issue this error. > It seems as if Xercesc tries to implement this behavior, given that the > comments in SchemaValidator.cpp, line 129 are a direct copy of the mentioned > web page: > // if nillable, it's an error to have value > // XML Schema REC: Validation Rule: Element Locally Valid (Element) > // 3.2.1 The element information item must have no > // character or element information item [children]. > // > However, no error is issued in such a constellation. > There is a related issue: > If the first child element of the nilled value (which is *not* nil) has > content, Xercesc issues the misguiding error message: > Message: element '<name>' is nil and must be empty > It seems, as if the nil-flag of the parent element is incorrectly set for the > child element. > For the second and all other child elements this is not the case (no error is > reported). > Steps to reproduce: > Use the attached schema and instance document. > Invoke the DOMCount-sample from the Xercesc-distribution like this: > DOMCount.exe -v=always -s -n -f shiporder.xml -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: c-dev-unsubscr...@xerces.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: c-dev-h...@xerces.apache.org
