Re: Bug report (Re: [Classpathx-xml] Merging GNU JAXP into kaffe)

[Dalibor Topic]

I've CC:ed David Brownell on this, as he checked in
the  change that caused the bug, apparently.

In short: the bug is that currently GNU JAXP parses an
attribute when it shouldn't. The bug is in
gnu/xml/pipeline/EventFilter.java . It has been
introduced in version 1.14 of the file.

I've attached a
simplified form of the test case, attribute.xsl. In
order to find the source of the bug, I have played
around with adding class files from kaffe to
gnujaxp1.0-beta1 to make it output the additional
attribute. It turns out that the file that causes the
change in output is gnu/xml/pipeline/EventFilter.java.
When I replace its class file in gnujaxp.jar with the
one from from kaffe's rt.jar I get the additional
output.

The version of EventFilter in kaffe is 1.15, in
gnujaxp.jar it's 1.13. Version 1.14 produces the extra
output, so the bug must have been introduced in 1.14.
I've dug deeper into this, and I think the bug comes
from the code below this comment in method bind()
// DOM building, printing, layered validation, and
other
// things don't work well when prefix info is
discarded.
// Include it by default, whenever possible.

commenting the try-catch block below it out and just
setting prefixes to false works for me. I've attached
a patch to do that. The patch fixes the example, and
Saxon 7.3 doesn't break anymore. ;)

This patch of course is against the purpose of the
comment about things not working well when prefix info
is discarded. So I hope someone will come up with a
better solution.

best regards,
