Issues not resolved

Issues Descriptions

Missing schemas from DDS-TSN


Incomplete dds-xml_application_definitions_nonamespace.xsd -- allow applications to extend other applications


Incomplete dds-xml_domainparticipant_definitions_nonamespace.xsd -- registration and entity definitions


Incomplete dds-xml_domain_definitions_nonamespace.xsd -- registration and entity definitions

  • Key: DDSXML11-8
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Mr. Fernando Garcia-Aranda)
  • Summary:

    The specification lacks the XSD type definitions for the QoS extensions coming from DDS-RTPS and DDS-RPC:

    • Specification of domainTag alongside domainId
    • Registration of interface types used for DDS-RPC (rpc call style)
    • Definition of RPC services (request reply and rpc)

    The DDS-XML specification, specifically the dds-xml_domain_definitions_nonamespace.xsd schema should be updated to support these.

  • Key: DDSXML11-4
  • Status: open   Implementation work Blocked
  • Source: Beijing Jingwei Hirain Technology Co., Ltd. ( Jun.Feng)
  • Summary:

    1. In the specification and xsd file,can not find that how to describe the locator information of the domain participant such as metatrafficUnicastLocator or defaultUnicastLocator.
    2. When the topicKind of a topic is WITH_KEY, how to describe the corresponding key-value information of the DateWriter in the "data_writer" part.
    3. If user can add some bolcks that user defined and if there are some rules?
    4. There are no "uint8" or "int8" in the the simpleType whose name is "allTypeKind" in the xsd file whose name is "dds-xml_type_definitions_nonamespace.xsd". But there are the definition in chapter "7.3.2.2 Basic Types" of the specification "Extensible and Dynamic Topic Types for DDS"(DDS-XTypes)

Incomplete dds-xml_type_definitions_nonamespace.xsd -- No mapping for uint8/int8, map, bitset

  • Key: DDSXML11-2
  • Status: open   Implementation work Blocked
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    The IDL specification got extended with support for uint8/int8, map, bitset/mask, but there is no mapping for this in the DDS XML specification. The DDS XML specification should define how these new IDL types are mapped in XML. Also missing are interface definitions needed by DDS-RPC and some annotations DDS-XTYPES and IDL4. Specifically:

    • uint8/int8
    • map
    • bitset and bitmask
    • Interface and Exception definition
    • bultin type declarations such as "unit"
    • custom annotation definitions
    • application of custom annotations

    The DDS-XML specification, specifically the dds-xml_type_definitions_nonamespace.xsd schema should be updated to support these.

  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Mr. Fernando Garcia-Aranda)
  • Summary:

    In section 7.3.2.4.4.1, the "Is equivalent to the following XML" paragraph has the wrong style. It should be "Text Body" rather than monospace.
