custom error msg for XSD assert

[vlindhol]

(I debated with myself whether to post here or in the XML Schema forum, but since this seems to be a nonstandard, Oxygen-specific feature I put it here.)

I'm trying to produce an easier to read error message for an XSD assertion that I have in place for an XML schema of mine. I found in the Oxygen manual that this is possible using a validator-specific feature (http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/ ... sages.html).

As is mentioned in the manual, I have imported the Xerces namespace and have put a message attribute in my assertion:

Code: Select all

<assert test="someTest" xerces:message="Custom error message"/>

But the message never shows up, only the default technical one. Is this feature supported anymore?

Hello,

Yes, is possible to specify a custom error message for an assert. But there is a small problem with the namespace that we specified in the user manual for Xerces messages. The namespace declaration for Xerces messages should be xmlns:xerces="http://xerces.apache.org", not "http://xerces.apache.org/".

This is not an Oxygen specific feature, is more like a processor specific feature. So, you can use it in any application that has that validation processor.

Ah, there we go! Removing the slash from the URL made all the difference. Thanks!
