Issue in JAXB Boolean Parsing

[Remya sri]

JAXB is accepting the value "truce" and return boolean value "true".How this is happening?How does Jaxb Convert boolean Values?

Is this an issue or this is how the conversion happens.

Please have the code fragment written for testing

import java.io.File;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.Unmarshaller;
import com.pack1.SampleDTO;
public class JaxbMarshaller {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    try {
      JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(SampleDTO.class);
      Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller();
      File f = new File("text.xml");
      SampleDTO product = (SampleDTO) u.unmarshal(f);
      System.out.println(product.isHasNext());
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

forgive me for my naming conventions

Below are the XSD and XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
	<xs:element name="hasValue" type="xs:boolean">
		<xs:simpleType>
			<xs:restriction base="xs:boolean">
				 <xs:pattern value="true"/>
			</xs:restriction>
		</xs:simpleType>
	</xs:element>
</xs:schema> 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<value>
	<hasValue>truce</hasValue>
</value>

My output is "true"

[1] I bet you have never get it to the stage of validating anything at all. And what you observe has nothing to do with the schema. It has everything to do with your class com.pack1.SampleDTO where there is a method isHasNext() returning a boolean. That's all. xsd data typing has no bearing on the problem not to say conversion of anything. You can put truce, ecurt, true or anything there and the result would be the same.

[2] In the case of further development to the stage of validating, suffice it to mention that the schema (xsd) is invalid? It can never get pass the loading stage. What is the problem? I leave it to your own discovering.
