Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Processing of enumeration definitions can cause values
that contain whitespace to be omitted.

For example, the processing of the following definition
removes the first and last values:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://byteEnumeration2">
  <xsd:complexType name="byteEnumeration2">
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="value">
        <xsd:simpleType>
          <xsd:restriction base="xsd:byte">
            <xsd:enumeration value=" &#x9;&#xD;&#xA;-2 "/>
            <xsd:enumeration value="-01"/>
            <xsd:enumeration value="0"/>
            <xsd:enumeration value="1"/>
            <xsd:enumeration value="002"/>
            <xsd:enumeration value="+3"/>
            <xsd:enumeration value="+04"/>
            <xsd:enumeration value=" &#x9;&#xD;&#xA;5 "/>
          </xsd:restriction>
        </xsd:simpleType>
      </xsd:element>
    </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

Processing is performed by the type XSDEcoreBuilder.

The fix for this problem was coordinated with the Eclipse
organization using the Eclipse Bugzilla defect 252080.  See:

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Application Server   *
*                  V6.1 and V7.0, particularly those who work  *
*                  with XML Schema Definitions.                *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Enumeration values in schemas           *
*                      may be omitted if the                   *
*                      definition contains whitespace.         *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Validating elements in an XML document may not work as
expected when the associated schema contains whitespace in a
list of values. Those elements with whitespace in the schema
may appear to be ignored.

Problem conclusion

Code has been changed to properly handle whitespace in schema
enumeration elements. This fix represents the inclusion of
Eclipse Bugzilla #252080
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=252080).

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpacks 6.1.0.23 and 7.0.0.3.  Please refer to the
Recommended Updates page for delivery information:
