Xsd type for alphanumeric fields..

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

As per our requirement, a source field shud have only alphanumeric charaters.

What should I define its xsd:type so that it shouldn't take alphanumeric values?

What is xsd : Name is used for?

Thanks,

Hitesh

Hi,

If you don't have the XML message validation switched on in your sender communication channel, simply use xsd:string.

Hope this helps,

Hi Greg,

In that case it will accept the special characters as well which we want to avoid.

So you want an error to be raised in case of non-alphanumerical characters? Then you can add a validation patern ([a-zA-Z0-9])* to an xsd:string field, so that the final outcome was:

Remember to turn on the validation in your sender channel.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Greg,

Could you guide me to link or help pages where I can explore more of these options related to xsd types. I tried searching for them but not able to get any good ones.

Dear Hitesh,

The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) gives great descriptions, whenever you have to dig up really deep into some standards like XSD. See here: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/. These descriptions are quite technical, in case you need something more "readable", you can use the tutorials from w3schools, I also really enjoy them: http://www.w3schools.com/schema/default.asp. Personally, I've learnt so many things from both of these.
