unexpected behavior when validating a xs:Date field

[FrankDBelli]

Hello all,

I’m trying to validate an XML file against its XSD schema (W3C) and I get an unexpected behaviour.

The XSD declares a tag of type xs:date as below defined:

<xs:simpleType name="ISODate">
            <xs:restriction base="xs:date"/>
</xs:simpleType>

<xs:element name="MyDate" type="ISODate"/>

The XML file I’m trying to validate against contains such tag with a value that I believe should be reported as wrong by the validation process (with woodstox-6.0.3):

<MyDate>2000-00-00</MyDate>

Instead, the incorrect value is not detected. If validated with other applications such as XmlSpy or other java parsers, the error is reported correctly. I’m wondering if there’s a feature I’ve not set (something like lenient date) or it’s actually a bug.

Source code follows:

public void test() throws Exception {

      File myFile = new File("myFile.xml");
      File myXsd = new File("myXSD.xsd");
      XMLInputFactory _xmlif = XMLInputFactory.newFactory();
      XMLValidationSchemaFactory _xmlValidationSchemaFactory = XMLValidationSchemaFactory
              .newInstance(XMLValidationSchema.SCHEMA_ID_W3C_SCHEMA);

      try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(myFile);
              BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);) {
          XMLStreamReader2 xmlStreamReader2 = (XMLStreamReader2) _xmlif.createXMLStreamReader(bis,
                  XmlConstants.UTF_8);
          xmlStreamReader2.validateAgainst(_xmlValidationSchemaFactory.createSchema(myXsd));
          while (xmlStreamReader2.hasNext()) {
              xmlStreamReader2.next();
          }
          xmlStreamReader2.closeCompletely();
          System.out.println("File valid");            

      } catch (XMLStreamException e) {
          System.out.println("File NOT valid");
      }
  }

Thanks in advance for your help!

Quick note: although validation is accessed via Stax2-api, implementation is provided by Woodtox. So will transfer issue to woodstox repo.
