Greetings,
I am trying to map some of the validating parse error messages into something
our non-technical users could understand. For example, the message:
string length (string) is less than minLength facet (0) for 1
might map to:
The field <blah-blah> is empty, but it is required that you type something
into that field.
Most of our users only see 2 or 3 different kinds of errors. If I can make
those error messages understandable, I'll have covered 95% of the situations
our customers experience. I'm looking for the best way to test an XmlError
object to find out if it is a specific error, for example is it the error shown
above? Obviously I could test the message for an exact match to the text shown
above, but there seem to be 3 parameters in the message, "string", "0", and
"1", so there are problems with that approach. Not to mention the text might
be changed in the future.
When I get the above error, my code prints out the value of getErrorCode() and
it is: "cvc-minLength-valid.1.1". So I thought I'll compare the value
returned by getErrorCode() with a constant from XmlErrorCodes. But when I look
at the constants in the XmlErrorCodes package I have no error code has this
value. The closest is:
public static final java.lang.String DATATYPE_MIN_LENGTH_VALID =
"cvc-minLength-valid";
when I look at this web site:
http://xmlbeans.apache.org/docs/2.0.0/reference/constant-values.html and search
for "cvc-minLength-valid.1.1", I get this:
public static final String DATATYPE_MIN_LENGTH_VALID$STRING
"cvc-minLength-valid.1.1"
but the variable name DATATYPE_MIN_LENGTH_VALID$STRING is not in my local copy
of XmlErrorCodes.
Does anyone know what's going on here. I'm not really a Java expert, so I'm
not quite sure how to take this $STRING suffix.
