WebBroker uses the datatypes defined in XML-Data. The dt attribute from XML-Data namespace is used for datatype recognition by XML-Data aware processors. Otherwise a NOTATION attribute is used for xml 1.0 processors. This is very limited but did what I needed. Limitations of this trick include: Attributes cannot be datatyped. Extensibility is not addressed. Encoding (NOTATION) and data-typing should be explicitly seperate attributes which they are not in WebBroker. I would not use the WebBroker tricks as is to solve general purpose problems besides the "RPC" stuff it was designed for. I was able to get a lot done using only primitive data typing without the higher powered features of schemas. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bryan Gilbert [mailto:Bryan_Gilbert@p...] > Sent: Thursday, July 09, 1998 1:19 PM > To: 'xml-dev@i...' > Subject: Data Types (was: RE: Dates in XML) > > > I posted a note about data types a couple of months ago.
