Description

Given the following xsd that should allow only a valid email address pattern:
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<xsd:element name="Email" type="EmailType" />

<xsd:simpleType name="EmailType" >
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:token">
<xsd:pattern value="([\.a-zA-Z0-9_-])@([a-zA-Z0-9_-])(([a-zA-Z0-9_-])*\.([a-zA-Z0-9_-]))"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

</xsd:schema>

Using the following simple xml instance:

<Email>[e-mail]</Email>

Running:

validate sample.xsd sample.xml

generates:

Schema invalid:
D:\sample.xsd:7: error: pattern-regex: The regular expression '([\.a-zA-Z0-9_-])@([a-zA-Z0-9_-])(([a-zA-Z0-9_-])*\.([a-zA-Z0-9_-]))' is malformed: '-' is an invalid character range. Write '-'.

A dash at the end or at the beginning of a character range does not have to be escaped (see http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-2-20041028/datatypes.html#nt-charRange "The - character is a valid character range only at the beginning or end of a - positive character group- .")

The regular expression in the email example is a valid xsd regexp and should be accepted by the XmlBeans validator.
