Hello Alain and Company,
I am a new user of XSLTForms, exploring the framework, and am quite
impressed, especially considering it's a free product.
However, I would like confirmation that what I am seeing is indeed the case,
or if I am missing something, regarding handling custom types.
In my model definition I reference a schema file, expecting to link up the
types defined therein to my bind statements. The types I am trying to use
are simpleTypes. Here is an example:
<xs:simpleType name="DateTimeWithTimezoneDatatype">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>A string representing a point in time with a
required timezone.</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:restriction base="DateTimeDatatype">
<xs:pattern
value="(((2000|2400|2800|(19|2[0-9](0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])))-02-29)|
(((19|2[0-9])[0-9]{2})-02-(0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-8]))|(((19|2[0-9])[0-9]{2})-(0[
13578]|10|12)-(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01]))|(((19|2[0-9])[0-9]{2})-(0[469]|11)-(
0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|30)))T(2[0-3]|[01][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9])(\.[0-9]+
)?(Z|(-((0[0-9]|1[0-2]):00|0[39]:30)|\+((0[0-9]|1[0-4]):00|(0[34569]|10):30|
(0[58]|12):45)))"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
And the bind trying to use it (the 'o:' namespace used in @ref is indeed
confirmed correct):
<xf:bind id="/published" ref="/o:published" type="
DateTimeWithTimezoneDatatype"/>
And finally, the input field:
<xf:input bind="/published" incremental="true" type-ref="
DateTimeWithTimezoneDatatype">
<xf:label>
<b>Published:</b>
</xf:label>
</xf:input>
I get no ostensible complaints from the xf processor, but no validation
behavior either (i.e. entering invalid values provokes no response).
(Note that the slashes in the @id and @bind attributes seem to be
permissible if non-standard.)
Can the XSLTForms processor handle the schema type as defined above? It
seems to acknowledge the type, but not operate using it.
Or are users expected to create type-handling additions in xsltforms.js?
I am unclear as to the situation in XSLTForms 1.7, which is the version I am
using.
Please advise, and thank you in advance!
