Going back to using > and < in attribute values question/issue. I reckon that if the doc was validated against a dtd and the type of the expression attribute was specified in the dtd to be type CDATA then you could use > and < (or most other standard text things) without a problem. I'm not familiar with xsd. I've just taken a look in the file jpdl-3.1.xsd and it looks like the expression attributes are set to type xs:string. Does anyone know: 1) what this type allows in terms of text content 2) is there an equivalent of CDATA for xsd (and what is it) - if there is an equivalent then the expression attributes could be changed to xs:cdata-equivalent in the xsd and it might all work. I really don't like the idea of not using a validating xml parser on process definitions :( Cheers, Andy View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4024194#...
