XML Schema 1.1 Support

Dear SmartBear-Team,

since XML Schema 1.1 just became a recommendation by W3C in this month, it would be good to have
soapUI supporting it to. At least in a beta version.

XML Schema 1.1 is kept backward compatible and already respected by Xerces and Saxon.

As a quick test, I tried to replace the xerces-lib in the soapUI-lib folder with following version:

Xerces2 Java 2.11.0 (XML Schema 1.1) (Beta)
from http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/

but the validation of a message with an assertion (= new introduced feature, similar to the ones in schematron) in its XSD did not work.
It says "validation ok", where it's not.

Regards,
Aydin

    Hello,

     

    This question (12-2012) remains withour answer.

    I have the same problem.

    Can you explain how soapui can be compliant with XML Schema 1.1?

     

    Especially, is there a way to tell to SOAPUI that the option "Validate Requests: Always validate request messages before they are sent" has to be done with  XML Schema 1.1?

     

    Thanks by advance

     

    PS: SOAPUI 5.2.1 version used

        Hello,

         

        here is my problem in details:

         

        I have a wsdl/xsd in which I include an XML Schema 1.1 field (assert)

        Something like that:
        <xsd:assert test="..."></xsd:assert>

         

        I import that wsdl/xsd files on a new project on SOAPUI 5.2.1 and I'd like that, when

        I write a request that is not compliant with that assert condition, and
        when I submit that request (if the option Editor Settings - Validate Request is checked),
        SOAPUI cancels my request indicating to me that assert condition is not fulfilled.

         

        Ex:
        If there is in my xsd:
        <xs:element name="test">
        <xs:simpleType>
        <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
        <xs:pattern value="\d{6}"/>
        </xs:restriction>
        </xs:simpleType>
        </xs:element>
        And my request looks like : ... <test>1234564</test> ...
        there is, at present, an error message indicating:
        "line X: string value '1234564' does not match pattern for type of test element..."

         

        Now, I'd like that if there is in my xsd
        <xs:assert test="(@dept eq 'ACC')"></xsd:assert>
        And I my request looks like: ... <dept>NAT</dept> ...
        I expect that there is an error message indicating:
        "line Y: problem with dept element"

         

        In one sentence:

        How to make SoapUI XSD Validator compliant to
        XML Schema 1.1 (by updating a jar, by setting global parameter, ...)?

        Thanks

        Regards
