]> Chapter 5: Datatypes Chapter 5: Datatypes

A standard data type test of a data type D consists of:

  1. Having an XForms document with:
    1. a submission element and submission trigger.
    2. an input control bound to an instance node that is declared by the XML schema to be of type D.
    3. the instance node containing initially valid data.
    4. the input control containing hint text suggesting an invalid value to type.
  2. Having the user type the invalid value then actuate the submit trigger.
  3. The test is passed if the user is not allowed to type the invalid data.
  4. If the user is allowed to type the invalid data, then have the user actuate the submission triggger.
  5. The test is passed if the user is not allowed to submit the data.
  6. The test is failed if it is not passed according to the above.
5.1 XForms Basic Built-in Types

XForms processors MUST support all XForms Basic built-in types (primitive and derived, marked by asterisk)

  • Standard data type test on XForms Basic built-in primitive types (dateTime, time, date, gYearMonth, gYear, gMonthDay, gDay, gMonth, string, boolean, base64Binary, decimal, anURI)
  • Standard data type test on XForms Basic built-in derived types (integer, nonPositiveInteger, negativeInteger, long, int, short, byte, nonNegativeInteger, unsignedLong, unsignedInt, unsignedShort, unsignedByte, positiveInteger)
    •
    5.1 XForms Basic Processor Support of XForms Full Additional Built-in Types

    XForms Basic processors MAY support additional XForms Full built-in types (primitive and derived, without asterisk).

    This requirement is currently missing from the specification.

  • Standard data type test on XForms Full built-in primitive types (hexBinary, float, double, QName, NOTATION)
  • Standard data type test on XForms Full built-in derived types (normalizedString, token, language, Name, NCName, ID, IDREF, IDREFS, ENTITY, ENTITIES, NMTOKEN, NMTOKENS)
    •
    5.1 XForms Full Processor Support of XForms Full Additional Built-in Types

    XForms Full processors MUST support additional XForms Full built-in types (primitive and derived, without asterisk).

  • Standard data type test on XForms Full built-in primitive types (hexBinary, float, double, QName, NOTATION)
  • Standard data type test on XForms Full built-in derived types (normalizedString, token, language, Name, NCName, ID, IDREF, IDREFS, ENTITY, ENTITIES, NMTOKEN, NMTOKENS)
    •
    5.1 Derivation by Restriction

    XForms processors MUST support derivation by restriction. (See XML Schema Part II, esp. Section 4.1.2.1)

    Includes full Unicode pattern support.

  • Standard data type test on type derived by restriction from integer to be between 1 and 100.
    •
    5.1 Derivation by List

    XForms processors MUST support derivation by list. (See XML Schema Part II, esp. Section 4.1.2.2)

  • Standard data type test on type derived by list from integer with input control of select.
    •
    5.1 Derivation by Union

    XForms processors MUST support derivation by union. (See XML Schema Part II, esp. Section 4.1.2.3)

    This assertion needs to be added to XForms Section 5.1. It is currently a requirement from Section 12.2.1.

  • Standard data type test of a type derived by union of integer and a string restricted to two characters.
    •
    5.1 In-scope XForms Data Types

    XForms processors MUST treat XForms data types as in-scope without requiring inclusion of XML Schema for XForms.

  • Standard data type test on a data type that derives by restriction from xforms:monthYearDuration in a document that does not include XML Schema for XForms. Additionally, test that document does submit when valid data is entered.
    •
    5.1 Unrecognized Data Types

    XForms Basic processors MUST treat unrecognized datatypes as xsd:string.

  • Standard data type test on an unrecognized type foo:bar, with behavior equivalent to xsd:string
    •
    5.2.1 XForms listItem

    XForms processors MUST support xforms:listItem as defined in the XForms Schema.

  • Standard data type test on xforms:listItem
    •
    5.2.2 XForms listItems

    XForms processors MUST support xforms:listItems as defined in the XForms Schema.

  • Standard data type test on xforms:listItems
    •
    5.2.3 XForms dayTimeDuration

    XForms processors MUST support xforms:dayTimeDuration as defined in the XForms Schema.

  • Standard data type test on xforms:dayTimeDuration
    •
    5.2.4 XForms yearMonthDuration

    XForms processors MUST support xforms:yearMonthDuration as defined in the XForms Schema.

  • Standard data type test on xforms:yearMonthDuration
    •
