Hi, Given the schema below, with Xerces schema API, having access to XSDateTime representing the fixed value for the attribute use, getLexicalValue method returns "2003-04-24" instead of "2003-04-25+09:00".
I found that, if I changed the order of the checkings that are done in checkDefaultValid method of org.apache.xerces. impl.xs.traversers.XSDAttributeTraverser class as follows, I get "2003-04-25+09:00". // throws an error if the constraint value is invalid for the given type void checkDefaultValid(XSAttributeUseImpl attrUse) throws InvalidDatatypeValueException { // validate the canonical lexical rep ((XSSimpleType)attrUse.fAttrDecl.getTypeDefinition()).validate(attrUse.fDefault.stringValue(), fValidationState, attrUse.fDefault); // validate the original lexical rep, and set the actual value ((XSSimpleType)attrUse.fAttrDecl.getTypeDefinition()).validate(attrUse.fDefault.normalizedValue, fValidationState, attrUse.fDefault); } Regards, -taki <xsd:schema targetNamespace="urn:foo" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:foo="urn:foo" > <xsd:attribute name="date" type="xsd:date" /> <xsd:complexType name="date"> <xsd:attribute ref="foo:date" fixed="2003-04-25+09:00" /> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:schema> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
