XMI12 — Encoding a union value that has no field value.

Open Closed All
  • Key: XMI12-122
  • Legacy Issue Number: 4001
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: DSTC ( Stephen Crawley)
  • Summary:

    Consider the following CORBA union type:

    union Foo switch(long)

    { case 1: boolean one; case 2: char two; }

    ;

    The production rules in 9.5.7.4 and 9.5.9.9 do not say how a "Foo" value
    should be encoded in an XML document when the discriminator is (say) zero.
    (The OCL for 9.5.9.9 will give an exception in CORBA 2.3 in this case.)

    Should the Foo value be encoded in XMI as:

    <XMI.unionDiscrim>0</XMI.unionDiscrim>

    or

    <XMI.unionDiscrim>0</XMI.unionDiscrim>
    <XMI.field></XMI.field>

    or something else?
