I have found an issue which seems to imply that EMF does not support Restrictions of Complex types in terms of validation.

Given the following schema:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://example.com/ComplexRestriction" targetNamespace="http://example.com/ComplexRestriction">
    <!-- base type -->
    <xs:complexType name="BaseInfo">
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="numPosts" type="xs:integer" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
        </xs:sequence>
        <xs:attribute name="firstSubscribed" type="xs:date" use="optional"/>
        <xs:attribute name="mailReader" type="xs:string"/>
    </xs:complexType>
    <!-- derived type -->
    <xs:complexType name="RestrictedOne">
        <xs:complexContent>
            <xs:restriction base="BaseInfo">
                <xs:sequence>
                    <xs:element name="numPosts" type="xs:integer" minOccurs="1"/>
                </xs:sequence>
                <xs:attribute name="firstSubscribed" type="xs:date" use="required"/>
                <xs:attribute name="mailReader" type="xs:string" fixed="Microsoft Outlook"/>
            </xs:restriction>
        </xs:complexContent>
    </xs:complexType>
    <xs:complexType name="NoBaseRestricted">
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="numPosts" type="xs:integer" minOccurs="1"/>
        </xs:sequence>
        <xs:attribute name="firstSubscribed" type="xs:date" use="required"/>
        <xs:attribute name="mailReader" type="xs:string" fixed="Microsoft Outlook"/>
    </xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>

Now if you try:

NoBaseRestricted noBaseRestricted = RestrictionFactory.eINSTANCE.createNoBaseRestricted();
noBaseRestricted.setMailReader("Thunderbird");
Diagnostician.INSTANCE.validate(noBaseRestricted );

Then you get an error as expected because "firstSubscribed" is not set.

However if you do the following:

RestrictedOne restrictedOne = RestrictionFactory.eINSTANCE.createRestrictedOne();
restrictedOne.setMailReader("Thunderbird");
Diagnostician.INSTANCE.validate(restrictedOne);

Then there is no failure on the validation as would be expected. (It should fail as firstSubscribed is still not set)

Is this a know issue for EMF?

Thanks
Rob

Nope, it doesn't.

Yes. There's support to address it in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=51210 but there never
seems enough time for that.

Thanks for the confirmation Ed, it seems that 51210 is a pretty far reaching issue - I've seen that refered to before as the root cause of a seperate issue.

Thanks

Rob
