InternalError when parsing invalid XML
--------------------------------------
Key: XERCESJ-1491
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1491
Project: Xerces2-J
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.9.1
Environment: XercesJ 2.9.1, JDK6, at least on Linux and Solaris
Reporter: Volker Kleinschmidt
We're getting java.lang.InternalError from scanDocument() instead of some
sensible exception when trying to parse XML that contains unclosed tags - this
should be handled more gracefully.

Note how the <handle>, <create> and <remove> tags are not terminated, i.e it
should read <create .... />.
Clearly the document fragment is invalid XML, but that shouldn't cause an
InternalError under any circumstance!
Example of a malformatted document fragment triggering this behavior:

<!-- Custom content types defined by this extension -->
<content-handlers>
<content-handler>
<name value="Document Package" />
<handle value="resource/x-jjc-docset">
<http-actions>
<create value="modules/create.jsp">
<remove value="modules/remove.jsp">
</http-actions>
<icons>
<!--toolbar value="/images/add_ch1.gif"-->
<!--listitem value="assignment_on.gif"-->
</icons>
</content-handler>
</content-handlers>
