XTCE13 — Incorrect MetaCommandRef element definition

Open Closed All
  • Key: XTCE13-37
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Northrop Grumman ( Mr. Joseph Vlietstra)
  • Summary:

    Draft version of XTCE v1.2 defined <MetaCommandRef> element as:
    <element name="MetaCommandRef" type="xtce:MetaCommandRefType">
    <complexType name="MetaCommandRefType">
    <annotation>
    <documentation>Describe a reference to a MetaCommand . See NameReferenceType.</documentation>
    </annotation>
    <attribute name="metaCommandRef" type="xtce:NameReferenceType" use="required"/>
    </complexType>

    Published version of XTCE v1.2:
    <element name="MetaCommandRef" type="xtce:NameReferenceType">

    Published version is inconsistent:

    • The attribute "metaCommandRef" is used several other places
    • This is the place where a name reference is element text content instead of an attribute.

  • Disposition: Closed; No Change — XTCE 1.3
  • Disposition Summary:

    not broken but originally part of List<> clean up issue

    XTCE 1.1 and XTCE 1.2 appear to have the same syntax here. The current copy of the schema shows no change to this element.
