------------------------------------------
Summary: DFDLGeneralFormat - add missing properties to improve
portability with IBM
Key: DAFFODIL-1915
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1915
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Front End
Affects Versions: 2.1.0
Reporter: Michael Beckerle
Fix For: 2.1.0
Steve Hanson of IBM tested some of our schemas on github DFDLSchemas for
compatibility with IBM DFDL.
He tested QuasiXML and CSV.
IBM DFDL does not implement encodingErrorPolicy="replace". We should consider
whether we can change this to encodingErrorPolicy="error" without breaking
things, or rather, we should change it, and see if too many things break. It
would be helpful if every schema trying to be portable did not have to deal
with this little detail.
These properties we don't implement yet are required by IBM DFDL, so without
them defined in DFDLGeneralFormat our schemas can't be immediately portable to
IBM DFDL even if everything "real" in them is portable. The properties are:
floating="no"
textBiDi="no"
calendarCenturyStart="53"
calendarObserveDST="yes"
Daffodil doesn't need these properties yet, but won't reject them I don't
think, so we should include them to avoid portability hassles.
