----------------------------------------
Summary: validationMode=full enables Daffodils limited validation
Key: DAFFODIL-2896
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2896
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Back End
Reporter: Steve Lawrence
Fix For: 3.7.0
Daffodil has three validation modes: off, limited, and full. "Limited" enables
Daffodils internal validation during parsing and "full" enables Xerces
validation at the end of parsing. However, "full" also enables Daffodils
limited validation, so we incur extra overhead with full validation.
We should change full validation so it only does Xerces validation. Note that
this change is not backwards compatible and could potentially break tests that
use full validation but specifically look for Daffodil validation messages.
Alternatively, we may want to consider adding a new validation mode that only
enables xerces. Then "full" could keep its current behavior of validating with
Daffodil and Xerces. This has the added benefit that we can get complete test
coverage of both validation mechanisms without having to duplicate tests.
