[jira] Commented: (XMLBEANS-187) sax spec requires local name

["Jacob Danner (JIRA)" <xm...@xml.apache.org>]

Jacob Danner commented on XMLBEANS-187:
---------------------------------------

This is what java doc for org.xml.sax.Attributes says:
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.html

>>>
The list will not contain attributes that were declared #IMPLIED but not
specified in the start tag. It will also not contain attributes used as
Namespace declarations (xmlns*) unless the
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes feature is set to true
(it is false by default). Because SAX2 conforms to the original
"Namespaces in XML" recommendation, it normally does not give namespace
declaration attributes a namespace URI.

Some SAX2 parsers may support using an optional feature flag
(http://xml.org/sax/features/xmlns-uris) to request that those
attributes be given URIs, conforming to a later backwards-incompatible
revision of that recommendation. (The attribute's "local name" will be
the prefix, or "xmlns" when defining a default element namespace.) For
portability, handler code should always resolve that conflict, rather
than requiring parsers that can change the setting of that feature flag.

If the namespace-prefixes feature (see above) is false, access by
qualified name may not be available; if the
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces feature is false, access by
Namespace-qualified names may not be available.

>             Project: XMLBeans
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: Version 1.0.4, Version 2
>         Environment: windows xp, tested on java 1.4.2 and 1.5
>            Reporter: Ben Anderson

> I posted this as a mail note a while back:
> http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xmlbeans-dev&m=111599749418156&w=2
> The problem came about when I tried using the save method in cocoon with saxon.  With xalan everthing works fine, but not with saxon.  Michael Kay claims that saxon is correct:
> http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xmlbeans-dev&m=111599522507748&w=2
> according to the sax spec:
> http://www.saxproject.org/apidoc/org/xml/sax/Attributes.html#g
> So, no big deal but it definitely breaks unless the patch I will attach is applied.
