Key: CORBA34-107

Legacy Issue Number: 5511

Status: closed

Source: Raytheon ( Jerry Bickle)

Summary:

Simple Sequence -The current definitions for sequence allow invalid
definitions to be
built but be syntactically correct. A better definition for a simple
sequence would be as
follows:

Current sequence element

<!ELEMENT sequence
( description?
, ( simple*

struct*

sequence*

valuetype*
)
) >
<!ATTLIST sequence
name CDATA #IMPLIED
type CDATA #REQUIRED >

Change to

Add a new simplesequence element:

ushort ) #REQUIRED

<!ELEMENT values
( value+
)>

Change sequence to:

<!ELEMENT sequence
( description?
, ( simplesequence

struct*

sequence*

valuetype*
)
) >
<!ATTLIST sequence
name CDATA #IMPLIED
type CDATA #REQUIRED >

One does not have to keep repeating the same simple definition. This
definition
then has the added advantage where simple name attribute can now be made
mandatory.
<!ELEMENT simple
( description?
, value
, choices?
, defaultvalue?
) >
<!ATTLIST simple
name CDATA #REQUIRED
type ( boolean

char

double

float

short

long

objref

octet

string

ulong

ushort
) #REQUIRED >
