[jira] [Comment Edited] (XERCESJ-1726) Possible Bug: Xerces 2.12.1
for XML Validation with XSD 1.1 Schema under Java

-----------------------------------------------------------------
as per my initial analysis, I feel that, the issues pointed within this bug report could indeed by a bug with Xerces-J and should be investigated to arrive at a fix.
There has been some discussion about this issue on Xerces j-users list (which can be found at, [https://markmail.org/message/s6rqkdxdnz5w2n2c]).

> Key: XERCESJ-1726
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1726
> Project: Xerces2-J
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Samples
> Affects Versions: 2.12.1
> Environment: Windows 7
> Java 1.8.0_261
> Xerces-J 2.12.1
> Reporter: J Morris
> Priority: Major
> Labels: test
> Attachments: testX.zip

> Original Estimate: 72h
> Remaining Estimate: 72h
>
> I have recently been trying to validate the XML file *test1.xml* with a schema *test.xsd* containing *assert*/*assertion* constructs, using the sample program *jaxp.SourceValidator*.
> Unexpectedly, the result was several reported errors in what appeared to be syntactically correct and valid XML lines (*test1.xml*: 9 errors).
> After significant experimentation, it appeared that these errors were occurring at line numbers which the validation found troublesome. Inserting an extra line at one of the troublesome line numbers made the previously erroneous line (now *not* appearing at a troublesome line number) pass validation. On the other hand, the newly inserted line (occupying the troublesome line number) would fail validation.
> I tentatively interpreted this as meaning that *the validation errors were not real* and began to try to develop a test-case, as similar as possible to *test1.xml*, but which passed validation. The result was *test2.xml*, which was generated from *test1.xml* by inserting XML comment lines at each of the troublesome line numbers, thereby displacing the previously erroneous lines to non-trooublesome line numbers. Since XML comment lines do not require validation, this file passed validation for me (*test2.xml*: 0 errors).
> I then contacted Mukul GANDHI and he re-ran my validations *but came to a different result*. He saw errors in both XML files (*test1.xml*: 9 errors; *test2.xml*: 18 errors). Despite our joint efforts to achieve convergence between our respective validation runs, we have not so far succeeded.
> Mukul did point out a couple of things:
> 1) The way that I was using the "matches" function in the *assert* constructs. His experience suggested that this was unreliable. However, I was not certain whether this would have led to the type of behaviour that I was seeing (apparent troublesome line numbers).
> 2) He found that certain characters (probably the two accented French characters) in my XML files were not supported in the default XML encoding scheme, UTF-8. However, for me, no errors were reported for those by the validation program *jaxp.SourceValidator*.
> I would be very gratefull foe some help in getting to the bottom of this (both the original behaviour and the discrepancies with Mukul's validation runs).
