Subject: nillable element with default values
I am wondering if this is a Xerces bug or something that I missed in the XML
Schema specification.
Using the following schema:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://my.company.com"
xmlns="http://my.company.com"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="root">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="elem1" default="elem1 default"
nillable="true">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:simpleContent>
<xsd:extension base="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
And the following document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns:root xmlns:ns="http://my.company.com"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://my.company.com nillable.xsd">
<elem1 xsi:nil="true"/>
</ns:root>
I get an error message from Xerces when parsing the document: "Message:
Element elem1 with attribute xsi:nil=true must be empty"
I check the XML Schema specification. It is explicitly said that if nillable
is true you can not have a fixed value, but I did not find anything related
to default values which is what I have in my case (elem1 as a default value
declared in the schema). Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Thomas
