Hello,
I couldn't solve your problem but maybe I can give you more ideas...
In you rule:
<rule context="/repeatedPassword">
<report test="(string-length(/password) > 0) and (string-length(.) =
0)">
Please confirm your password.
</report>
</rule>
I would say you are setting the context to "/repeatedPassword", so
"/password" won't work. I think you should use "../password" in there. I
coudn't make this work either...ummm...but if I put any text in the
"/repeatedPassword" field, form does not pass validation and it does if I
leave it blank...weird...
Anyway, if you got it working you should consider writing a more consistent
rule for password confirming. Something like:
<rule context="/repeatedPassword">
<assert test="string(.) = string(../password)">
Please confirm your password.
</assert>
</rule>
I can think of another way of making this, through some java code in the
perform() method (making validation programatically), but I hope it won't be
necessary cause I believe there must be a Schematron way of doing this. Hope
someone could help you (us) more :-)
Best,
Josema
