[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

Hello Steve,

As you suggested, I have modified the setting of the "notvalid" property 
in the XFInstance.prototype.validate_() method to support xsi:nil.

Please have a look at rev. 508

It is my understanding that xsi:nil will not allow any value at all. For 
allowing both empty values and typed values, you have to use xforms 
types instead of xsd types.

Thank you for your feedbacks!

Hi Alain

 

Many thanks for your swift response.

 

Your suggestion to use xforms types has given me all I needed so I didn't initially try using xsd types with xsi:nil and thereby test your code.

 

When I did test your fix it didn't seem to work as I expected.  My understanding is that a value of "" and xsi:nil means that validation against the schema type should not happen: so the code should look like this - 

 

this.setProperty_(node, "notvalid",

                !Core.getBoolMeta(node, "notrelevant") && !(!(Core.getBoolMeta(node, "required") && (!value || value == ""))

                && (!schtyp || (value == "" && Core.getNil(node)) || schtyp.validate(value))

                && (!bind.constraint || booleanValue(bind.constraint.evaluate(ctx)))));   

 

However, I see now that xsi:nil could never be made to do what I was trying to do.  To work, the script would have to be inserting and removing the xsi:nil attributes from elements depending on whether they are empty or not.    As you say, only xforms types should be used!
