setting mandatory aspect property throws exception

smiconrad — Sat, 04 Nov 2006 19:08:19 GMT

I'm seeing some strange behavior when creating a new aspect:<aspect name="xx:aspectname"> <title>Aspect Title</title> <properties> <property name="xx:weirdprop"> <title>Why aren't you working man</title> <type>d:text</type&g

<aspect name="xx:aspectname"> 
  <title>Aspect Title</title> 
  <properties> 
      <property name="xx:weirdprop"> 
          <title>Why aren't you working man</title> 
          <type>d:text</type> 
          <index enabled="true"> 
              <atomic>true</atomic> 
              <stored>true</stored> 
              <tokenised>true</tokenised> 
          </index> 
          <mandatory>true</mandatory> 
          <constraints> 
              <constraint ref="xx:myConstraint" /> 
          </constraints> 
      </property           <—————————- Close this up.

Apologies for that. I just made a mistake while pasting the XML code to the post. My file has all tags properly formatted.

Like I said earlier, moving the <mandatory> tag above the <index> tag works but having it under the <index> tag doesn't.

I'm just curious as to why this is the case. Shouldn't I be able to put the <mandatory> tag anywhere inside the <property> tag?

Thanks for your help.

The order of elements within <property> must be:

title
description
type
protected
mandatory
multiple
default
index
constraints

Optional elements can be left out.

You can look at m2binding.xml or modelSchema.xsd for the complete dictionary schema.
