[ebxml-dev] "Description" element in "Error"

["Frank. Christopher" <C.Frank@seeburger.de>]

Hello,

I am currently setting up test cases and scenarios for the European Interoperability Pilot, therefore I am playing around with several constellations of input/output data on our ebXML connector.

While creating ebXML error message I was wondering about a parser error once the 'Error' element does contain of more than one 'Description' element and found the message msg-header-2_0.xsd defining:

...
	<element name="Error">
		<complexType>
			<sequence>
				<element ref="tns:Description" minOccurs="0"/>
				<any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
			</sequence>
...

unlike the 'MessageHeader' and 'Manifest' which both define maxOccurs="unbounded".
(If you try to parse a message which contains more than one 'Description' on an error element, a validating parser will throw an error.)

Is this intention? I can see no reason why to restrict the description of an error to only one language while I am allowed to define multi-language messages for the header and the payloads.
Unfortunately the ebMS 2.0 spec does not define the min/max count of Descriptions in Errors (but it does for Manifest and MessageHeader).

Best Regards,
Christopher
