[xsd-users] RE: parser issue

[Rizzuto, Raymond]

Boris,

Thanks, I knew there were limitations in the validation, but was
surprised that in the case of a choice it actually serialized both
choices that I incorrectly populated.

I actually am parsing the serialized code, which is where I noticed the
error message ":43:16 error: Element 'simpleOrder' is not valid for
content model: '(request|order)'".  One of our XML experts was able to
identify the error in the generated XML, luckily, as I was
misinterpreting what the error message was saying.

The C++/Tree mapping does not perform validation during serialization.
As I mentioned earlier, we are working on another C++/Tree-like mapping
which will support validation in generated code for both parsing and
serialization.

There is also a work-around for this in C++/Tree which involves
re-parsing the serialized XML to make sure it is valid. For more
information please see the following post:
