Dynamic type in xforms:bind

Hi all,

            I have the following

 

<instance>

            <element type=”xs:date”/>

</instance>

 

I want to do

 

<xforms:bind nodeset=”/instance/element” type=”@type”/>

 

But this doesn’t work or I’m not doing it correctly, has anyone managed to do this or is this a known bug?

 

Thanks

 

Ryan

Ryan,

This is not a bug. As per the XForms specification, the content of the
xforms:bind/@type attribute must be a qualified name ("Any xsd:QName
representing a datatype definition." [1]). You can't use an XPath
expression in there. If you want to use dynamic types, you will have to
write things such as:

<xforms:bind nodeset=”/instance/element[@type = 'date']” type=”xs:date”/>
<xforms:bind nodeset=”/instance/element[@type = 'integer']”
type=”xs:integer”/>

etc.
