> Schema validation error with empty key
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: XERCESC-1981
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1981
> Project: Xerces-C++
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Validating Parser (XML Schema)
> Affects Versions: 2.8.0, 3.0.0, 3.1.0, 3.1.1
> Environment: Windows XP SP3, Command Prompt, example program DOMCount.
> Reporter: Herbert Oppmann
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: EmptyKey.zip

> With the example below, the validation returns "identity constraint key for element 'Profile' not found".
> This is caused by the attribute TextId having the empty string as value, which is used as keyref in Item/Name and as key in Language/Text. Other XML parsers do not complain, and examining the W3C XML Schema specification I also did not find any reason why an empty string should not be acceptable.
> (I know of course, that it is not _wise_ to use an empty string as key/keyref. This was done by mistake.)
> Example XML:
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <Profile xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.example.com/Profile" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.example.com/Profile Profile.xsd">
> <Item Id="2">
> <Name TextId=""/>
> </Item>
> <Item Id="1">
> <Name TextId="NAME1"/>
> </Item>
> <Language>
> <Text TextId="NAME1" Value="Some name"/>
> <Text TextId="" Value="Empty!"/>
> </Language>
> </Profile>
> And this example Schema:
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:test="http://www.example.com/Profile" targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/Profile" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
> <xsd:element name="Profile">
> <xsd:complexType>
> <xsd:sequence>
> <xsd:element name="Item" type="test:ItemT" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
> <xsd:element name="Language" type="test:LanguageT"/>
> </xsd:sequence>
> </xsd:complexType>
> <xsd:key name="Text-Id">
> <xsd:selector xpath=".//test:Language/test:Text"/>
> <xsd:field xpath="@TextId"/>
> </xsd:key>
> <xsd:keyref name="Name-TextRef" refer="test:Text-Id">
> <xsd:selector xpath=".//test:Name"/>
> <xsd:field xpath="@TextId"/>
> </xsd:keyref>
> </xsd:element>
> <xsd:complexType name="ItemT">
> <xsd:sequence>
> <xsd:element name="Name" minOccurs="0">
> <xsd:complexType>
> <xsd:attribute name="TextId" type="test:RefIdT" use="required"/>

> <xsd:complexType>
