An input parameter can currently only be defined as a

STRING | NUMBER | ENUMERATION| INTEGER | REAL | BOOLEAN |  LOGICAL | CLASS

| URN | URL | ENTITY | SELECT

It should be possible to define the parameter as an EXPRESS defined type.

E.g.

 TYPE year_number = INTEGER;

 END_TYPE;

should be defined as:

<param_in name="year" type="TYPE" defined_type="year_number">

Updated the DTD (dexlib/dtd/dex/templates.ent) to allow this:

<!ELEMENT param_in (classifications?, description?)>

<!ATTLIST param_in

            name CDATA #REQUIRED

            type (STRING | NUMBER | ENUMERATION| INTEGER | REAL | BOOLEAN |  LOGICAL | CLASS | URN | URL | ENTITY | SELECT | TYPE) #IMPLIED

            select_type CDATA #IMPLIED

            entity_type CDATA #IMPLIED

        defined_type CDATA #IMPLIED

            value CDATA #IMPLIED

            optional (yes | no) "no"

            default CDATA #IMPLIED

 

Updated the XSL: dexlib/xsl/dex/templates.xsl
