Hi All,

I have created Xml Schema file which validate Xml document.In xml document i have a date attribute which i validate thorugh xsd but the problem is type xs:date of Xml Schema only allows date format as yyyy/mm/dd.

In my Xml document i want to enter date format as dd/mm/yyyy.

Can anyone show me how to achieve this. please provide some example or code.

Thanks for your help.

xs:date has a defined format, there is nothing you can do about that.

You'll just have to use xs:string instead, possibly with a regular expression restriction. This doesn't stop the user entering an invalid date however.

If you're prepared to explore the bleeding edge, Saxon-EE 9.2 has an extension that allows you to define reformatting to be applied to an element or attribute before validation. So you could write an XPath expression that rearranges the components of the date into standard ISO order (yyyy-mm-dd), and then validates as an xs:date.
