Validating XML against XSD - restriction error

[rob4732]

Hi All,

Attempting to validate xml against xsd, but getting restriction error(even though data appears to be valid for that restriction pattern). If I understand the restriction correctly, it should allow a max of 40 alphanumeric characters.

Thoughts? Thx Robert

Validation Error:
ERROR: Element 'patient-id': [facet 'pattern'] The value 'str1234' is not accepted by the pattern '^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$'.
ERROR: Element 'patient-id': 'str1234' is not a valid value of the local atomic type.

Hi,

Is this your schema, or you have it from somewhere?
The problem is caused by the ^ and $ special characters which cause the pattern matching to fail. It works just fine with just [a-zA-Z0-9]+.

Adrian

Excellent. Thank you. This XSD is from a third party. Validation is working without ^ and $.
