Hi all
Well firstly there's a bug in the message here. In your case the message
should read:
cvc-maxLength-valid.1.1: string length (9) is greater than maxLength
facet (2) for 'yourType'
where yourType is QName of the schema type causing the problem. This
would be far more helpful and was clearly the intention of the code -
someone just put the {0}, {1} etc in the wrong place in the message
properties file.
I'll fix that and once it's in the message should be far more
user-friendly.
But secondly here's some general stuff you can do with these error
messages.
A) Some of the other API's on XmlError could do what you want. For
instance when you use scomp we print out line and column numbers for the
error - these come from XmlError.getLine() and getColumn().
B) There's also XmlError.getLocation(). According to the comments in the
code (I've never used it myself) you pass it XmlCursor.class or
XmlObject.class and you get back either the cursor or the XmlObject at
that position (provided of course that XmlBeans can construct one).
C) Also it's probably worth pointing out that the first part of the
"cryptic message" is actually a pointer to the part of the XML Schema
spec that is being violated. So in your case the error message has
"cvc-maxLength-valid.1.1" in it.
Open up the schema spec at http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/ and search
for cvc-maxLength-valid. You'll find a link to the following page:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-2-20041028/datatypes.html#cvc-ma
xLength-valid
We are then reporting that step 1.1 of that algorithm is being violated
- which (as you say) corresponds to too many characters according to the
maxLength facet of the type in question.
Hope that helps. Cheers,
Lawrence
