329080 - Upload "type" attribute always detected as bound to wrong datatype

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: XForms, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

I have specified xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" in the "html" element, and used @type on the file bind in question. FF doesn't handle this, and says the datatype is xsd:string. Trying to hardcode the datatype in the upload control doesn't help. Can someone please point me to an example of a working "upload" element?

Here's the error message:
Error: XForms Error (28): Upload element not bound to valid datatype.  Must be bound to datatype 'xsd:anyURI', 'xsd:base64Binary', or 'xsd:hexBinary'.

Source Code:
<xf:upload bind="file-bind" mediatype="*" type="xsd:anyURI" type="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string"/>

http://isscvs.cern.ch/cgi-bin/viewcvs-all.cgi/install/XForms/jobs.xhtml?cvsroot=moi&only_with_tag=mozilla_plugin contains an example XForms.

It is not the control that needs to be "typed" but the instance data it is bound to.

That is already typed:
<xf:bind id="file-bind" nodeset="instance('file')/file" type="xsd:anyURI" relevant="string-length(instance('context')/slotId/text()) &gt; 0 and string-length(instance('context')/jobDescription/text()) &gt; 0"/>

Well, I could not see that in code that you pasted on the bug. You are sure that you are not getting any other error messages?

Does attachment 213737 [details] work for you?

There are two versions in CVS: In the oldest one, the type is just "anyURI", which works in Chiba. The newest one has the type "xsd:anyURI". Neither of them work.

Your example, however, works just fine, so I guess the problem is somewhere in the bind handling. The other difference is that you define the xsi and xsd namespaces in other places.

I also get the following error, but it should be unrelated:
Error: XForms Error (6): Error evaluating nodeset expression: jobs:Description
Source File: file:///C:/download/install/XForms/jobs.xhtml
Line: 0
Source Code:
<xf:bind id="job-description-bind" nodeset="jobs:Description"/>

And there I think you are wrong :)

I'm pretty sure we bail if we fail to evaluate a nodeset expression for a bind, so that will make the form unusable... try fixing all errors in your form first.

OK, that fixed it. Now nothing works, but at least there are no error messages :)
