Possible bug in Xerces?
Hi,
I have encountered a problem with the Xerces-j parser on a particular file. I
have done a CVS bringover of the apache xerces source and built it. However when
I run one of the sample applications over the following file:
<!DOCTYPE doc [
<!ELEMENT doc (#PCDATA)>
]>
<doc>£</doc>
I get the following error:
[Fatal Error] test.xml:5:1: The element type "doc" must be terminated by the
matching end-tag "</doc>".
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Stopping after fatal error: The element type "doc"
must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</doc>".

According to the XML conformance test suite this file should be valid. The £
character should be allowed as element content.
Is this a bug or am is there some character encoding stuff that I am missing
from the xerces build?
Thanks
John Ward.

...which is why the parser "eats" the next characters, thus losing
the start of the closing element tag.

Since the charater:
£
in your sample file is out of the ASCII range, 0-127, you need to specify
the encoding to be "ISO-8859-1". The default encoding is UTF8, with UTF8 the
code points that is bigger than 127 could be encoded as 2, 3, 4 bytes.
