DOMNode::getLocalName() always returns NULL (except DOMAttrNSImpl::getLocalName())?

[Ola Theander <Ol...@nasdaqomx.com>]

Dear subscribers
 
I'm working with a project where I, amongst other things, upgrade an
application to use Xerces 2.7 instead of 2.3. As far as I know the code
is supposed to work and has been validated but not touched for quite a
while. The situation is that I've noticed a peculiar thing with
DOMNode::getLocalName() and that is that it always return NULL, except
for the implementation in DOMAttrNSImpl::getLocalName().
 
The application uses a recursive search algorithm to locate a particular
element in an XML-document but it never finds it because the local name
is always NULL. My question is, is this behaviour changed between
version 2.3 and 2.7 and what's the reason for always returning NULL?
 
Any clarification on this issue would be greatly appreciated since I'm
quite new with Xerces.
 
Regards, Ola Theander

Hi Alberto

Thanks for your answer. That's pretty much my conclusion as well.

Hi Ola,
I don't know what 2.3 was doing, but 2.7 defines getLocalName only in
namespace-aware attributes and elements, i.e. the ones created with
setAttributeNS/setAttributeNodeNS/createAttributeNS. If the attribute
was created by a non-namespace-aware API, you should use getNodeName.
