Validation is different in form view and xml view.

Hi Sebastian,

thanks for this.. there are two issues at play here:

- the form editor erroneously validates/shows simple nillable elements as required
- the form editor erroneously always shows nillable complex elements, these should (probably) be shown as optional..

Upcoming nightly-build will fix the first of these.. I'll have to figure on the second one..

regards!

Thanks for the quick response
Let me know when you fix number 2

Hi!

ok! I would like your opinion: an element defined as required (ie min/maxOccurs > 0) but nillible, should it be displayed as optional? That is how it will be anyway.. it is a bit strange though..

I don't think it should be optional, that will probably confuse people.

I suggest that you make some way to make it nil in the form view too. Maybe a checkbox next to the nillable field, that when checked sets nil and "greys out" the value field.
if that's too tricky to implement, you could add a rightclick option to set/unset a field = nil

Hi

ok.. but how to do this when the element is complex (ie a sequence or something).. !?

hmm, good question.

The structures currently have a littel arrow thingie that folds and unfolds, maybe that one could be expanded with somesort of "set nil". Or maybe right click on the structure bar itself and set it?

However it's nice to have it visible that something is set to nil. Either a checkbox or maybe a colour change?
I'm not a GUI programemr myself so I don't knwo what options you have to choose from.

My best suggestion is to use right-click to set/unset nil, and show it with a colour change. Would that be easier than making checkboxes..?

PS: I just noticed my skype was turned off. catch me there, it might be quicker than forum posts

hi,

the same problem again.

form and xml view are validating requests in a different way.
one is not working correctly.
