xml-dev - RE: minInclusive/maxInclusive don't work for float

[johns@syscore.com (John F. Schlesinger)]

Ramesh,
I get the same problem. When I tried 23, 0.5, 23.00, 1.0E1, 1.1E1, 23E10
and -0.5 it still validated. When I tried 'hello' I got the following error:
"[Error] floattest.xml:5:9: Datatype error: Hello
 is not a float.."

It looks like this facet is not supported in Xerces 1.2.

I used the following command and files:

command: java sax.SAXCount -v floattest.xml

floatTest.xsd
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"
        targetNamespace="floatTest"
        xmlns:my="floatTest"
        elementFormDefault="unqualified"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation=
                        "http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema
                         http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema.xsd">

    		<minInclusive   value="0.0"/>
    		<maxInclusive   value="1.0"/>
	</simpleType>

	<element    name="x"    type="my:myType"/>
	<!-- ========== -->
</schema>

         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="floatTest floatTest.xsd">23
</my:x>

Subject: minInclusive/maxInclusive don't work for float


In a schema I have:

<!-- ========== -->
<simpleType name="myType"   base="float"    derivedBy="restriction">
    <minInclusive   value="0.0"/>
    <maxInclusive   value="1.0"/>
</simpleType>

<element    name="x"    type="my:myType"/>
<!-- ========== -->

In an instance document, I have:

<x>23</x>

With Xerces 1.2.0, this is validated without any errors. Any clues, anybody?

TIA,

Ramesh
