Hi All,

I have to validate the model xml for Non Ascii characters(except few like £).So i need to trigger a event to validate while providing values for the attributes of node(same as a exception being triggered when we provide date in wrong format).

Thanks,
Jeno.

Jeno,

You could define your own EDataType for java.lang.String and specialize
the createAbcFromString method to reject characters you don't want. Or,
with extended metadata annotations, you can define a pattern constraint
on your own EDataType that would only allow whatever characters you want
to allow
