I am trying to figure out a message received from Xerces-J version 2.6.2 when the parser encountered a language code that was not valid according to the xs:language data type. The error that I received was:
Error] ext_example1.xml:27:71: cvc-pattern-valid: Value 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' is not facet-valid with respect to pattern '([a-zA-Z]{1,8})(-[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,8})*' for type 'language'.
However when I look at
XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes, A Schema for Datatype Definitions (normative):
I see the following regular expression defined (normative):
([a-zA-Z]{2}|[iI]-[a-zA-Z]+|[xX]-[a-zA-Z]{1,8})(-[a-zA-Z]{1,8})*
<xs:simpleType name="language" id="language">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation
source="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#language"/>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:restriction base="xs:token">
<xs:pattern
value="([a-zA-Z]{2}|[iI]-[a-zA-Z]+|[xX]-[a-zA-Z]{1,8})(-[a-zA-Z]{1,8})*"
id="language.pattern">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation
source="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#NT-LanguageID";>
pattern specifies the content of section 2.12 of XML 1.0e2
and RFC 1766
</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:pattern>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
Obviously the two regular expression used are different. It seems as though, by the error poduced by Xerces-J, that Xerces-J parser code is overriding the normative data type (regular expression) with its own? Why are the two different? Or do I not understand what is going on?
Thanks for the help
Schawn
