Is 'False' (as reentrant value) valid?

Hi,

Just came accross a question I can't answer myself.

According to the EJB 2.1 spec:

<!--
The reentrant element specifies whether an entity bean is reentrant or
not.
The reentrant element must be one of the two following:
<reentrant>True</reentrant>
<reentrant>False</reentrant>
Used in: entity
-->
<!ELEMENT reentrant (#PCDATA)>

The BluePrint PetStore application does use False as stated in the spec.

However, according to http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/j2ee_1_4.xsd:

  <xsd:complexType name="true-falseType">
    <xsd:annotation>
      <xsd:documentation>

        This simple type designates a boolean with only two
        permissible values

        - true
        - false

      </xsd:documentation>
    </xsd:annotation>
    <xsd:simpleContent>
      <xsd:restriction base="j2ee:xsdBooleanType">
        <xsd:pattern value="(true|false)"/>
      </xsd:restriction>
    </xsd:simpleContent>
  </xsd:complexType>

So, as I'm reading it correctly, the only valid values are true and false in lowercase.

Of course, XMLBeans complains during deployment and it looks like it's right.

Is False valid?

Best,
Jacek
