Chris Cardona has been trying to test the jacc 1.1 extended http-
method support by deploying slide (GERONIMO-1747) and I don't know
enough about regular expressions to see where the problem is.
The http 1.1 spec says:
(5.1.1) extension-method = token
(2.2)
token = 1*<any CHAR except CTLs or separators>
separators = "(" | ")" | "<" | ">" | "@"
| "," | ";" | ":" | "\" | <">
| "/" | "[" | "]" | "?" | "="
| "{" | "}" | SP | HT
CHAR = <any US-ASCII character (octets 0 - 127)>
CTL = <any US-ASCII control character
(octets 0 - 31) and DEL (127)>
I think this means a hyphen is allowed in an extension-method.
The web-app 2.5 schema says:
<xsd:simpleType name="http-methodType">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>
A HTTP method type as defined in HTTP 1.1 section 2.2.
</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:token">
<xsd:pattern value="[\p{L}-[\p{Cc}\p{Z}]]+"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
I have roughly no clue what that means.
Xmlbeans is complaining:
cvc-datatype-valid.1.1: string value 'VERSION-CONTROL' does not match
patter
n for http-methodType in namespace http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee,
error: cvc
-datatype-valid.1.1: string value 'BASELINE-CONTROL' does not match
pattern for
http-methodType in namespace http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee]
I see 3 possiblilites:
1. I'm wrong and http 1.1 spec does not allow hyphens in extension
methods
2. sun is wrong and the regexp in http-methodType means something
other than the definition in the http 1.1 spec
3. xmlbeans is wrong and is not interpreting the regexp in the schema
correctly.
Anyone have a clue?
Help!
thanks
