Attributes incomplete?

["Amthauer, Heiner" <He...@t-systems.com>]

Hi there!

I'm doing not very exiting things: reading a xml-file using Xerces2 and SAX.
When it comes to the startElement(...)-method, I'll get a set of attributes
inside the attr parameter. Using the debugger shows that it actually
contains a bunch of values. However, using the attr.getLength() or the
attr.getValue(int) methods returns nothing but zero and null. The only way
to access the values is by using the method attr.getValue("whatever-name").
However, this implies that I already do know which attributes are inside
attr. Since not all of them are #REQURIED, I'll have to ask for any single
attribute, whether it is present or not. This is very annoying. I'd preferre
to cycle through. Now, the question is: why are the methods getLength() and
getValue(int) not supported? Is this a bug or a feature? Are there any fixes
to it?

Thanx for any help,
greetings
Heiner
