Custom error messages when XSD validation fails?

A

Artie

Hi,

Is there any way to tell an XSD Schema that you want custom error
codes for particular validation failures in an XML document?

To show what I mean, here's an example:

XSD excerpt

<xs:element name = "EmployeeID">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base = "xs:string" >
<xs:length value = "3"/>
<xs:pattern value = "[0-9]{3}"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

XML excerpt

<EmployeeID>1234</EmployeeID>

When the XML fails to validate against its XSD element, I want, say,
error code 1000 to be returned from the validator - can this be done
easily?

(I'm thinking along the lines of having an element like
<xs:customErrorCode = 1000> along side each restriction.)

Any help very much appreciated

I don't think the schema language has any construct to define custom
error messages. Nor have I have heard that a particular schema validator
supports that. You might want to ask on a mailing list or forum or
newsgroup for the particular schema validator you use or want to use.
