[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXISCPP-347?page=history ]
Samisa Abeysinghe updated AXISCPP-347:
--------------------------------------
Component: SOAP
> XML specification for naming elements and attributes are not followed by IHeaderBlock and IAttribute APIs
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AXISCPP-347
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXISCPP-347
> Project: Axis-C++
> Type: Bug
> Components: SOAP
> Reporter: James Jose

> Hai
> I am James working in IBM - I am in a group which is working to provide full FV test coverage for the public APIs in the Axis C++ client engine.
> XML specification for naming elements and attributes are not followed by IHeaderBlock and IAttribute APIs
> -------------------------------------------------------------
> The APIs are not checking for invalid element,attribute and namespace names. ie it allows to generate SOAP message with
> invalid element name,attribute name,namespace prefix.
> According to XML specification the allowed characters in an
> xml name are -
> Letters,Number character,underscore,colon,hyphen and period
> Name may not start with the strings xml,XML,Xml, or any other
> string that would match any variation of these three characters
> (eg xMl,XMl...)
> Also the characters like '<', '&' cannot appear
> in xml values(element,attribute,namespace URI).
> For Eg.
> createImmediateChild(ELEMENT_NODE,"name<","xml","http://axis.com",NULL) will generate an element in the SOAP message. Also the resultant SOAP message will be non-compliant to WSI basic profile.
> Also other APIs like
> createNamespaceDecl()
> createChild()
> createImmediateChild()
> createAttribute()
> setUri()
> setPrefix() are not following the XML standards in naming.
