guththila parser fails to handle escape sequences for ampersand, less than,
greater than
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AXIS2C-859
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-859
Project: Axis2-C
Issue Type: Bug
Components: guththila
Affects Versions: Current (Nightly)
Environment: Windows XP, Visual Studio 2005, guththila parser, libcurl
Reporter: Bill Mitchell
When an incoming message contains within text the escaped ampersand sequence,
"&", this sequence is being passed to the client as raw text without being
converted to the single ampersand character. Clearly, this action must take
place at the level of the parser, as only the parser knows whether it is seeing
simple text, and conversion is required, or text embedded in a CDATA section,
where conversion is not allowed. I have tested the build with the libxml
parser, and of course the libxml parser behaves correctly: the text passed to
the client contains only the single ampersand character, not the escaped
sequence. (See section 2.4 of XML 1.0 spec.)
Looking at the code, I expect the same problem occurs with all escaped
sequences, less than and greater than as well as ampersand, on both input and
output. I also don't see where CDATA sections are handled, but as I am not
seeing CDATA in the messages from the service I am hitting, I have not tested
this case.
