possible editorial issue - Schema Definition Warning
by Cranford, Jonathan W. 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

The phrase "Schema Definition Warning" only occurs once in the published 1.0.4 spec (without respect to capitalization), in Section 2.6 Specific Errors Classified: "Note: Unrecognized DFDL properties or property values can produce a Schema Definition Warning and an implementation can attempt to process data despite the warning." Is the concept of a Schema Definition Warning a nascent concept already present in the spec but not well-defined? If so, this might be a minor issue that warrants an errata. My recommendation would be that Schema Definition Warning be defined and used consistently throughout the document. Otherwise, I recommend that "Schema Definition Warning" be replaced in the above sentence with simply "warning". In this case, this is probably just an editorial issue. Very respectfully, -- Jonathan W. Cranford Senior Information Systems Engineer The MITRE Corporation (http://www.mitre.org)

Erratum 2.100 clarified that such an element has variable length when unparsing. Sections 12.3.7 and dfdl:textPadKind have not been fully updated to make this clear. Attached Word document has marked up changes to correct the above, plus some comments.

IBM DFDL error messages
by Steve Hanson 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

IBM is sharing the error messages that it issues for schema definition errors in order to assist other DFDL implementations. Attached are the IBM DFDL model component and validator component error messages. Between them they should cover all SDEs, except those caused by violation of XML 1.0 and base XML Schema 1.0 rules - we just echo what we get back from the EMF code. Notice that the messages all have a consistent structure for the text. However considerable rationalisation is possible if one combines error messages that are essentially the same and use appropriate inserts. If the DFDL WG agrees that is the right thing to do then IBM can do this and re-distribute.
