http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34819 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-05-27 07:51 ------- (In reply to comment #7) > Both assertions fail because ((Element)element).getLocalName() is "alpha", not > null. I haven't yet figured out if this is OK or a bug in gnu classpath... When xml namespaces are enabled, there are two parts to an element name: namespaceURI and localname (eg "http://acme.com/ns", "item") When xml namespaces are disabled, there is one part to an element name: qname (eg "ns:item") Quite what localname should be when namespaces are disabled, or what qname should be when namespaces are enabled is very ambiguous in the javadoc for sax/dom at least. I suspect that Xerces reports NULL for qname when namespaces are enabled, and NULL for localname when namespaces are disabled, while Aelfred populates qname even when namespaces are disabled (reasonable) and populates localname even when namespaces are enabled. Which XML parser is actually complying with the SAX/DOM specs I don't know. Or whether the specs don't say anything on this issue, in which case we should not be asserting one way or the other. And quite how localname/qname map to the DOM "NodeName" isn't clear from the javadoc at least. Writing a simple test harness and running it with Aelfred and Xerces should show if this is the cause. Then we would have to figure out whether one of the parsers was actually non-compliant with the specs. And if so, whether we should try to "fix" the data the parser is reporting in NodeCreateRule or not. All looks like a fair bit of work. But the fact that those are the only test failures on kaffe/gnu-classpath is great! [esp. as they might just be over-zealous asserts anyway, if the relevant specs allow localname to be set when namespaces are enabled etc]. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
