Burn Lewis commented on UIMA-5177:
----------------------------------
Spec says that the the startElement arguments localName and qName can be
omitted by providing an empty string (nulls are accepted by the XML parser in
the JRE but not by the Saxon one.) Also the same requirement holds for the
Attribute values. Saxon also fails if only one of these args is pruvidedt,
i.e. if a qualified name is provided then a local name must also be provided.
These changes have been made.
The uimaj-test-util's pom has a commented-out dependency on Saxon9 ... when
this dependency is active many JUnit tests fail. Some failures are just
formatting (indenting by 3 instead of 4) but others are more serious (e.g.
namespaces omitted.) More work has to be done before UIMA & UIMA-AS can use
the Saxon parser.
> NPEs occur if Saxon9 is in the classpath
