However, such a record type allows the user to create templates that omit some but not all of record elements. The message created from this template is invalid, it won't pass schema validation. The minOccurs=&quot;0&quot; attribute means that either all elements are present or none of them is.<br />
<br />
Proposal:<br />
The correct transformation mechanism should be similar to the one used in sequence transformation, i.e. an additional untagged record wrapper shall be generated for the all compositor and the whole wrapper should be set to optional while the fields inside would stay mandatory (see 7.6.6.6 for more details).</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Steps To Reproduce</td><td class="print" colspan="5"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Additional Information</td><td class="print" colspan="5"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Tags</td><td class="print" colspan="5">No tags attached.</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Relationships</td><td class="print" colspan="5"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Attached Files</td><td class="print" colspan="5"></td></tr><tr><td class="print-spacer" colspan="6"><hr size="1" /></td></tr><tr><td class="form-title">Issue History</td></tr><tr class="print-category"><td class="row-category-history">Date Modified</td><td class="row-category-history">Username</td><td class="row-category-history">Field</td><td class="row-category-history">Change</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">28-11-2011 14:58</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=659">Tomas Urban</a></td><td class="print">New Issue</td><td class="print"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print">28-11-2011 14:58</td><td class="print"><a href="http://oldforge.etsi.org/mantis/view_user_page.php?id=659">Tomas Urban</a></td><td class="print">Clause Reference(s)</td><td class="print"> =&gt;

				Because of backward compatibility issues, we opt to leave the standard as it is. <br />
<br />
Also, I could not find an explicit statement that for the all-compositor with minOccurs=&quot;0&quot; that does not mean that it is implicitly inherited by all its children (although I think I remember reading a passage to that effect way back). I think that this was the reason why the mapping in TTCN-3 is also different than for the other cases.			</td>

				This way of translation has been included to keep compatibility with ITU-T Recommendation X.694, i.e. users that used the path XSD-&gt;ASN.1(using X.694 and available converters)-&gt; TTCN-3 (Part-7) could change to the direct mapping from XSD to TTCN-3 without changes in their existing code. By now, several years has passed from the first publication of Part-9. Probably (almost) all users has changed to the direct mapping, thus X.694 to Part-9 compatibility could be relaxed at some less frequently used places. However, now, backward compatibility with the already existing huge volume of TTCN-3 code is the important aspect. As the proposed change - though would unify mapping of sequence and all compositors - is not backward compatible, we cannot change the mapping in a rush. Including a tool-generated note saying that for correct message encoding all non-attribute fields shall be omitted could help (though not saving the user from making errors).<br />
<br />
As we are finishing our last session in 2011 today, further discussions shall be postponed to 2012.<br />
