Invalid IDREF attribute error

Hello!

I'm using Xercces-J 2.9.1.

I tried to validate the XML document that have two invalid IDREF type
attribute 'xref' elements.

 <para>This is a test.<xref linkend="aaa"/><xref linkend="bbb"/></para>

But Xeces reports only one error.

 'An element with the identifier "bbb" must appear in the document.'

Why Xerces does not report all of the unresolved IDREFs? Is this the
limitation?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Toshihiko Makita

Hi Toshihiko,

This is currently a limitation. The class Xerces uses for checking ID/IDREF
is only capable of returning the first IDREF found without a matching ID
value.
