Mark D Henning updated XMLBEANS-410:
------------------------------------

    Description: 
as an example, a xs:decimal (totalDig:20, fracDig:0) was creating 1000.00  whic 
of course, does not validate.

The problem is in the org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.xsd2inst.SampleXmlUtil.java 
class.  
Root cause of the problem is that the programmer was calling the setScale() 
method on a BigDecimal, as though it modifies the existing BigDecimal object 
(i.e. BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal("1000.00"); bd.setScale(1))  setScale does 
not modify the existing, but returns a new BigDecimal object.  Therefore the 
correct call would be (BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal("1000.00"); bd = 
bd.setScale(1)).
The lines included below represent the repair of the formatDecimal() method 
which is the eronious function.

       // We have the number
        // Adjust the scale according to the totalDigits and fractionDigits
        int digits = 0;
        BigDecimal ONE = new BigDecimal(BigInteger.ONE);
        for (BigDecimal n = result; n.abs().compareTo(ONE) >= 0; digits++)
            n = n.movePointLeft(1);

        if (fractionDigits > 0)
            if (totalDigits >= 0)
                result = result.setScale(Math.max(fractionDigits, totalDigits - 
digits));
            else
                result = result.setScale(fractionDigits);
        else if (fractionDigits == 0)
            result = result.setScale(0);

        return result.toString();
    }

I would recommend that the code tree be searched for other setScale method 
calls to see if others need to be fixed.  I currently do not have write access 
to the subversion repository, so I am unable to check this fix in myself.

I was unsure whether to code this as a minor or major problem.  It appears that 
the difference between the two is the presence of a work-around, for which 
there is none in this case.

        Summary: xsd2inst incorrectly handling decimal precision  (was: 
xsd2inst incorrectly handling numeric precision)

I revised the summary to reflect the fact that it was not general numeric 
precision that was affected, but only xs:decimal space.
