Summary:
Hi,
The Deployment & Configuration XML Schema defines a Property element like:
<xsd:complexType name="Property">
<xsd:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="value" type="Deployment:Any" />
<xsd:element ref="xmi:Extension" />
</xsd:choice>
<xsd:attribute ref="xmi:id" use="optional" />
<xsd:attributeGroup ref="xmi:ObjectAttribs" />
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:element name="Property" type="Deployment:Property" />This allows for the following invalid Property file to be passed silently
by the XML Schema validator:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<Deployment:Property
xmlns:Deployment="http://www.omg.org/Deployment"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.omg.org/Deployment Deployment.xsd">
<name>ORBSvcConf</name>
<value>
<type>
<kind>tk_string</kind>
</type>
<value>
<string>Foo</string>
</value>
</value>
<value>
<type>
<kind>tk_short</kind>
</type>
<value>
<long>123</long>
</value>
</value>
</Deployment:Property>The model in 6.10.8 has a containment association with a cardinality one
for value. The schema generated from that model doesn't match the semantics
in the model. This is just an example. There are a lot of elements where
the semantics imposed by the schema are different from what is described in
the model. I am curious as to why this is allowed. It can be easily fixed
by changing the schema to:<xsd:complexType name="Property">
<xsd:sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1">
<xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="value" type="Deployment:Any" />
<xsd:element ref="xmi:Extension" minOccurs="0" />
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute ref="xmi:id" use="optional" />
<xsd:attributeGroup ref="xmi:ObjectAttribs" />
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:element name="Property" type="Deployment:Property" /> -
