xxforms:valid on a node set

Hi,
I'm using xxforms:valid function to validate my instance based on binds.
This function works on nodes only, not on node sets (the first node is
taken). This means that I have to insert a container element in my
instance if I want to validate a sequence of sibling nodes.

Looking at the XXFormsValid java class, it wouldn't be too hard to
support also node sets. Is there any specific reason only nodes are
supported as first argument?

Any chance this will be implemented?

Cheers
Jeroen

If you want to check a number of nodes with xxforms:valid(), assuming  
you have a sequence of nodes '$nodes', you can write:  
empty($nodes[not(xxforms:valid(., true()))]).

Yes, I guess it wouldn't hurt to make it work on a sequence of nodes,  
and semantic would be that all the nodes have to be valid.

Are you volunteering? ;)

Well, in fact I am! However..
I already have written an adjusted XXFormsValid but I haven't been able
to test it on the latest trunk code base because of work being done on
JSR-286 (which is great!). The OrbeonPortlet couldn't load, neither the
OrbeonPortlet2Delegate (got that from thread "orbeon on jboss" starting
feb 23rd), because NoClassDefFoundError: javax/portlet/MimeResponse,
which is in portlet-api 2.0. So I stopped.. will continue some other time.


Cheers
Jeroen

The problems discussed in that other thread were related to some work  
we did recently, and Erik will be taking care of that. Once this is  
done, you should be able to get back on the main trunk and implement  
this change.
