[xsde-users] Feature request: validate empty xs:base64binary element

[Vrijnsen, Jeroen]

Hi,

I have the following XML schema:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element name="Response">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="Name" type="xs:string" />
        <xs:element name="Message" type="xs:string" />
        <xs:element name="NestedResponse" type="xs:base64Binary" />
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

When I try to validate the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Response>
  <Name>TheName</ErrorName>
  <Message>What I want to say</Message>
  <NestedResponse />
</ErrorResponse>

It is reported as being invalid, as base64-binary element is empty. However, the XSD standard allows this (although vague about it).
I have made a local patch to libxsde\xsde\cxx\parser\validating\base64-binary.cxx, but it might be interesting to add this feature to the code base. Is it possible to do such a request, and if so, is there a timeline by which a new release will be available?

Kind regards,
Jeroen Vrijnsen
