[jira] Commented: (XERCESJ-1490) character maps in stylesheets used by Xerces fail

["Michael Glavassevich (JIRA)" <xe...@xml.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1490?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12975978#action_12975978 ] 

Michael Glavassevich commented on XERCESJ-1490:
-----------------------------------------------

I think you meant to open this against Xalan. It supports XSLT. Xerces does not.

>             Project: Xerces2-J
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Serialization
>         Environment: Linux  2.6.5-7.151-s390x (SuSE mainframe) and 2.6.23.9lw #105 SMP (Red Hat derived Intel)
>            Reporter: David Collier-Brown

> I send a file containing the line
> --
> character="✓" name="check;"
> --
> to Xerces, and wrote it to the following xsl program:
> ---
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>    version="2.0">
>   <xsl:output
>         use-character-maps="cm1" />
>   <xsl:character-map name="cm1">
>       <xsl:output-character character="&#10003;" string="&amp;check;"/>
>   </xsl:character-map>
> </xsl:stylesheet>
> --
> The output, alas, is 
> --
> character="&#10003;" name="check;"
> --
> where "&#10003;" is literally a checkmark character. Piping it through
> cat -A yeilds
> --
> character="M-bM-^\M-^S" name="check;"$
> --
> I expected a literal ampersand followed by "check;", but instead got a 
> literal checkmark on both mainframe and intel linux.
> The code example is from www.xml.com/lpt/a/1426, and has arguably
> worked for the author, but but several other commentartors suggest it 
> doesn't work, as found via the google search "xsl character-map doesn't work"
> This is puzzling, and disqualifies me from using Xerces, and even DOm in
> in general for my customer.
> Is there a general problem with character maps, or ones specific to particular implementations?
