----------------------------------------
Summary: Incorrect mapping from separatorPoliciy to
separatorSuppressionPolicy
Key: DAFFODIL-2882
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2882
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Front End
Affects Versions: 3.6.0
Reporter: Steve Lawrence
Daffodil allows use of the deprecated separatorPolicy property and internally
maps it to the new separatorSupressionPolicy property. This is done here:
https://github.com/apache/daffodil/blob/main/daffodil-lib/src/main/scala/org/apache/daffodil/lib/schema/annotation/props/ByHandMixins.scala#L198-L201
So our mappings are:
{code}
required -> never
suppressed -> anyEmpty
suppressedAtEndStrict -> trailingEmpty
suppressedAtEndLax -> trailingEmptyStrict
{code}
However, according to the errata document
(https://ogf.org/documents/GFD.214.pdf), the mappings should be:
{code}
required -> never
suppressed -> anyEmpty
suppressedAtEndLax -> trailingEmpty
suppressedAtEndStrict -> trailingEmptyStrict
{code}
Note that suppressedAtEndStrict and suppressedAtEndLax are swapped and do not
match the errata document. Comparing the wording of older versions of the DFDL
spec, it does seem like our mapping is incorrect.
