XSD validation error messages with SaxonEE are not consistent

Added by Marjon Roodzant over 5 years ago

Hi,

Can anyone help me to make the xsd validation error message that SAXONEE gives at least consistent? Do I need another version of saxon? Is there a possiblitity for configuration here? Is it a (known) bug?

When I perform an xsd validation on an xml that is not valid because an expected element is not provided, The error message refers to a different element element every time

[user@server saxontest]$ **java -cp saxon9ee.jar com.saxonica.Validate -xsd:opvoeren_of_opzoeken_natuurlijk_persoon_request-1.1.xsd -s:test.xml**

The relevant xsd fragment is as follows

   <xs:complexType name="NatuurlijkPersoonType">
      <xs:sequence>
         <xs:element name="RelatieId" type="req:ANWBRelatieNummerType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
         <xs:element name="Voorletters" type="req:VoorlettersType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>

Sorry, of course xml elements are not rendered correctly, and I cannot correct the input.

... after element <NatuurlijkPersoon>

Every example given shows one of the following

It must be preceded by &lt;Q{.../1}GeboorteDatum>.

It must be preceded by &lt;Q{.../1}Roepnaam>.

It must be preceded by &lt;Q{.../1}Achternaam>.

It must be preceded by &lt;Q{.../1}Voornamen>.

I would expect is to be

the same every time
<Q{.../1}Achternaam> by preference because that is the only required element
as an alternative it could list all elementnames allowed directly after <RelatieId>

Thanks for reporting it, I'll look into it. The intended behaviour is that when a transition from X to Y isn't allowed, we look for all possible elements W such that X-W-Y would be allowed, and the message you are seeing should be produced only if W is a singleton set; if there are multiple possible W's, the message should say so. This clearly isn't happening.

Thanks for reporting this. I have logged it as a bug here:

https://saxonica.plan.io/issues/4214

and will produce a patch (it's caused by a very simple coding error).
