[Xsltforms-support] No support for xsi:nil

[Steve B. <ste...@co...>]

Hello

 

I am trying to get a sample form working which should allow numeric
inputs that also allow nulls.

 

The model looks like this:

 

<xf:model>

    <xf:instance id="i0" src="formmodel/99">

        <XFAnswers submitUri="formmodel/99"> 

            <XFAnswer
questionUserCode="firstNames"><Value>Fred</Value></XFAnswer>

            <XFAnswer questionUserCode="numberOfSiblings"><Value
xsi:nil="true"></Value></XFAnswer>

            <XFAnswer questionUserCode="weightInKg"><Value
xsi:nil="true"></Value></XFAnswer>

         </XFAnswers>   

      </xf:instance>

<xf:submission id="s01" method="put">

            <xf:resource value="//XFAnswers/@submitUri"/>

            <xf:message ev:event="xforms-submit-error">A submission
error (<output value="event('error-type')"/>) occurred.</xf:message>

     </xf:submission>

     <xf:bind nodeset="//XFAnswer[@questionUserCode='firstNames']/Value"
type="xs:string" id="firstNames"/>

     <xf:bind
nodeset="//XFAnswer[@questionUserCode='numberOfSiblings']/Value"
type="xs:long" id="numberOfSiblings"/>

     <xf:bind nodeset="//XFAnswer[@questionUserCode='weightInKg']/Value"
type="xs:decimal" id="weightInKg"/>

</xf:model>

 

Submission errors occur until the controls bound to the numeric types
have numeric values, despite the model starting with nil attributes.
I'm wondering, in the method 

XFInstance.prototype.validate_, should the "notvalid" property really be
set for bound nodes when schema validation fails - if the field is empty
and nillable?      

 

Regards
