All, I defined an element in the schema as type integer (like as follows)
<xs:element name="ver" type="xs:integer"/>. I have the minoccurance as 0 and maxoccurance as 1. But when i have an element with no value, and i try to validate using xerces parser, i get the following error. line #53: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: '' is not a v alid value for 'integer'. line #53: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-type.3.1.3: The value '' of element 'nor' is not valid. But if i validate in XmlSpy, it gets validated. Please help me where i'm wrong.
