Base64Binary validation failed when length is zero





------- Additional Comments From mpawlow@ca.ibm.com  2004-01-16 16:40 -------
It appears that the JAVA version of Xerces exhibits the correct behaviour in
this situation

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#base64Binary
The ·value space· of base64Binary is the set of finite-length sequences of
binary octets.
Although not explicitly defined in the spec, "finite-length" implicitly appears
to include the value 0 

This bug also appears to be present with respect to the hexBinary datatype

void HexBinaryDatatypeValidator::checkValueSpace(const XMLCh* const content)
{
    if (getLength(content) <= 0)
    {
        ThrowXML1(InvalidDatatypeValueException
                , XMLExcepts::VALUE_Not_HexBin
                , content);
    }
}
