error messages

[markl]

Is there a reference for what the somewhat cryptic messages in the results pane? During validation and transformation, the messages I see are very hard to understand. For example:

"F more pseudo attributes is expected."

This doesn't help much.

If these messages come straight from a standards document, then which ones? (Doubtful, since the grammar is wrong.)

While I can usually figure out what is wrong, the above one has me stumped.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your post.
We are using Xerces to perform validation so the error messages are inherited from there. See
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-x ... /impl/msg/
for the messages files. The message you refer to is defined in the XMLMessages.properties file
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-x ... cvs-markup

MorePseudoAttributes = more pseudo attributes is expected.

.
I just posted a bug on Xerces bugzilla reporting this problem: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24662

Can you post a sample document to reproduce this ? Pseudo attributes refer to processing instructions' attributes, in your case I think it is about the xml processing instruction <?xml ... ?>.

The next release of oXygen will help the user in understanding the error messages obtained when performing validation against an XML Schema. The users will be able to just click on an icon that appears together with the message and the browser will be opened showing the relevant part of the specification describing the respective error.

Best Regards,
George
