Erroneous SAX events for attribute whose type is a list type

           Summary: Erroneous SAX events for attribute whose type is a list
                    type
           Product: Xerces2-J
           Version: 2.0.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: SAX
        AssignedTo: xerces-j-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: achille@us.ibm.com


Xerces validating SAX parser version 2.0.2 incorrectly reports the value of an 
attribute whose type is a list type. Note that this problem does not occur when 
the validation is turned off, and did not exist in previous versions of Xerces.


SAMPLE SCHEMA (define a <person> element with a "refs" attribute of type list 
of NCNames)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
	<xsd:simpleType name="listOfNCNames">
		<xsd:list itemType="xsd:NCName"/>
	</xsd:simpleType>
	<xsd:element name="person">
		<xsd:complexType>	
			<xsd:attribute name="refs" type="listOfNCNames"/>
		</xsd:complexType>
	</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>


SAMPLE INSTANCE :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<person xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="file:///C:/temp/XercesTest.xsd"
	refs="a b c d"/>

SAMPLE CODE : (print out the value of the "refs" attribute of <person>)
package com.ibm.sketch.connection;

import org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser;
import org.xml.sax.XMLReader;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.xml.sax.Attributes;

public class XercesTest {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		XMLReader ret = new SAXParser();
		ret.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces", true);
		ret.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-
prefixes", true);
		ret.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);
		ret.setFeature
("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", true);

		ret.setFeature(
			"http://apache.org/xml/features/continue-after-fatal-
error",
			false);
		ret.setContentHandler(new org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler() {
			public void startElement(
				String uri,
				String localName,
				String qName,
				Attributes attributes)
				throws SAXException {
				if (localName.equals("person")) {
					System.out.println("refs ='" + 
attributes.getValue("", "refs") + "'");
				}
			}
		});

		ret.parse(args[0]);
	}
}


OUTPUT: 
refs ='d'


EXPECTED OUTPUT:
refs ='a b c d'
