choiceBranchKey - suggest change to List of DFDL String Literals ?
by Mike Beckerle 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

Our first experience with requiring and implementing choiceBranchKey in Daffodil and we're already dealing with the fact that many times the same branch has multiple different keys all of which indicate that it should be selected. Right now, dfdl:choiceBranchKey is a DFDL String Literal, so values like dfdl:choiceBranchKey=" " (that's two spaces) are legal and will work. If it was to be a whitespace separated value, then those would have to use DFDL Entities to express the whitespace. I know I have seen COBOL data where there were multiple tags that denote the same structure. I am curious what others experience with choiceBranchKey is, and how this issue was handled. I believe from prior emails that IBM has already implemented this in its DFDL implementation. There is an erratum specifying that choiceBranchKey comparison is supposed to be case-sensitive (for performance reasons), but nothing heretofore about it using DFDL Entities to represent whitespace.

Hi John If it's a query on the specification then email the working group on dfdl-wg(a)ogf.org. If it's a question about IBM's DFDL implementation then ask a question on developerWorks https://developer.ibm.com/answers/topics/dfdl/ and tag with 'dfdl'. If it's a question about the open source Daffodil implementation then go here first https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/confluence/display/DFDL/Frequently+Ask… If you've not already been there, a good place to start with DFDL is http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/se-dfdl/ Regards Steve Hanson IBM Hybrid Integration, Hursley, UK Architect, IBM DFDL Co-Chair, OGF DFDL Working Group smh(a)uk.ibm.com tel:+44-1962-815848 mob:+44-7717-378890 From: "HARRIOTT, John" <john.harriott(a)baesystems.com> To: "dfdl-wg-owner(a)ogf.org" <dfdl-wg-owner(a)ogf.org> Date: 11/11/2016 03:51 Subject: Point of contact for DFDL queries Sent by: "dfdl-wg" <mailman-bounces(a)ogf.org> Hi, Could you please advise what mechanism I should use to raise DFDL queries?
