Xalan 2 crash...

["McNeill, Keith D." <mc...@iconverse.com>]

Not that you would actually want to use an XPath expression like this
but...this does crash Xalan 2..while Xalan 1 didn't seem to have a
problem with it...the shape of the document doesn't seem to matter...
 
the following snippit of java code:
 
(XMLUtil is a utility class of our own...in this case it just creates a
DOM with just the node <doc/>)
 
String XPathString = "/foo/bar/ancestor-or-self::*/";
 
Document d = XMLUtil.runParser(new InputSource(new
StringReader("<doc/>")));
 
XPathAPI.selectNodeList(d, XPathString);
 
java.lang.NullPointerException

SAX && namespaces (Xalan C++ 1.0)

[David Curley <dc...@oblix.com>]

Can anyone tell me if namespaces will work with SAX in the
upcoming release of Xalan C++ ?    I'd hate to have to switch
to using the DOMParser just for this, and especially if it's
likely to be fixed soon.
