when an optional sequence includes optional elements only</td>

<td class="print-category">Description</td>
<td colspan="5" class="print">The XSD element below :<br />
&lt;xsd:element name="optionals_in_optional"&gt;<br />
  &lt;xsd:complexType&gt;<br />
    &lt;xsd:sequence minOccurs="0"&gt;<br />
      &lt;xsd:element name="elem1" type="xsd:string"
minOccurs="0"/&gt;<br />
      &lt;xsd:element name="elem2" type="xsd:integer"
minOccurs="0"/&gt;<br />
      &lt;xsd:element name="elem3" type="xsd:decimal"
minOccurs="0"/&gt;<br />
      &lt;xsd:element name="elem4" type="xsd:dateTime"
minOccurs="0"/&gt;<br />
      &lt;xsd:element name="elem5" type="xsd:duration"
minOccurs="0"/&gt;<br />
    &lt;/xsd:sequence&gt;<br />
  &lt;/xsd:complexType&gt;<br />
&lt;/xsd:element&gt;<br />
<br />
<br />
will be translated to TTCN-3 as:<br />
type record Optionals_in_optional<br />
{<br />
    record {<br />
        XSD.String elem1 optional,<br />
        XSD.Integer elem2 optional,<br />
        XSD.Decimal elem3 optional,<br />
        XSD.DateTime elem4 optional,<br />
        XSD.Duration elem5 optional<br />
    } sequence optional<br />
}<br />
with {<br />
variant "name as uncapitalized";<br />
variant "element";<br />
variant (sequence) "untagged";<br />
};<br />
<br />
where the 'sequence' name of the record shall not be present in the
encoded XML value.<br />
<br />
This is not the problem at encoding, both<br />
template Optionals_in_optional t_optionals1 := { sequence := omit
}<br />
and<br />
template Optionals_in_optional t_optionals2 := {<br />
  sequence := {<br />
    elem1 := omit,<br />
    elem2 := omit,<br />
    elem3 := omit,<br />
    elem4 := omit,<br />
    elem5 := omit<br />
  }<br />
}<br />
<br />
will be encoded as an empty
&lt;optionals_in_optional&gt;&lt;/optionals_in_optional&gt;
element.<br />
<br />
However, it is NOT SPECIFIED, how the above incoming element shall be
decoded into TTCN-3. Therefore the user needs to define a template list
containing both templates above to be sure that the incoming empty
element will match. This is cumbersome and superflouos.<br />
<br />
Proposed solution: it is proposed to specify that this specific case
shall be decoded to the value { sequence := omit }; this is the shortest
and thus more user friendly solution.<br />
Note: it could cause backward incompatibility if code is written to
tool-specific decoding, and causes no backward compatibility for code
written to ba standard-compliant.</td>
