Pattern facet regex requires dash - to be escaped -------------------------------------------------
Key: XMLBEANS-224 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-224 Project: XMLBeans Type: Bug Components: Validator Versions: Version 2 Environment: Win 2000, JDK1.5 Reporter: Peter lynch Given the following xsd that should allow only a valid email address pattern: <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xsd:element name="Email" type="EmailType" /> <xsd:simpleType name="EmailType" > <xsd:restriction base="xsd:token"> <xsd:pattern value="([\.a-zA-Z0-9_-])+@([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+(([a-zA-Z0-9_-])*\.([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+)+"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> </xsd:schema> Using the following simple xml instance: <Email>test@test.com</Email> Running: validate sample.xsd sample.xml generates: Schema invalid: D:\sample.xsd:7: error: pattern-regex: The regular expression '([\.a-zA-Z0-9_-])+@([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+(([a-zA-Z0-9_-])*\.([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+)+' is malformed: '-' is an invalid character range. Write '\-'. Question: Why should I have to escape the dashes?? Then escaping the dashes, you can actually get the schema to compile. But then you have a new problem. The regex does validate valid email addresses!! So two bugs AFAIK - shouldn't need to escape slashes. Something in the regex is not recognised by xmlbeans regex parser. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
