Can I butt in here and ask a simple question? I've just started to use Xerces to validate against Schemas and have run into 2 problems:
1. I get a datatype error when i specify integer as teh datatype. Should i be doing something special in my Xml (as opposed to just having 5 or 333 or whatever as the character data)? 2. Xerces doesn't support all of teh datatypes that i am using. Is there someway to "plug in" support for new datatypes (dates, currencies, etc.)? Do i just need to write it myself? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2000 10:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Xerces-J] XMLSchemaValidator and errors.... Thanks for the reply, Andy. That's what I was afraid of <grin>. Since I need to get this thing working, I'd be happy to make some contributions in the following schema areas: 1. General bug fixes (the aforementioned exception catching would be one). 2. Error reporting. Since I need to know exactly what caused a particular error (including the offending element), I can work on cleaning up this area. I also noticed that a number of the validators aren't using the standard error reporting mechanism, and some are just throwing exceptions without any info whatsoever. I've perused the info on contributing, and downloaded CVS. I still have a couple of questions, though: 1. Is there any way to access CVS through a firewall (I noticed the default port is 2401)? All I'm really trying to do is create diffs properly. I suppose I could create a CVSROOT locally and do it that way, but what do people normally do in this situation? 2. How often should I be sending diffs? Should I send one every time I make a minor change (like commenting out the try/catch blocks) or wait until I've made a lot of modifications? Kito D.

Is this really the desirable You are completely correct, this should be changed. Our schema support at the moment it experimental but in the final implementation errors in loading the schema should be reported through the error handler registed on the parser. -- Andy Clark * IBM, JTC - Silicon Valley * [EMAIL PROTECTED]
