Built-in Datatype - "decimal" Errors

This section describes a tutorial example on validation errors against decimal restriction facets.

In the previous section, we created a schema using "decimal" datatype with different restriction facets. Now we are going to create an XML document, decimal_datatype_error.xml, with several validation errors:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<orderLine
 quantity="1003"
 price="19.9999"
 subTotal="9.99"
/>

Here is the output of XsdSchemaValidator.java:

>java" XsdSchemaValidator decimal_datatype.xsd
   decimal_datatype_error.xml
