Hi, I am a relative newcomer to Xerces for XML Validation.
I have been trying to replicate the results of a tutorial that I found on the Internet. with particular reference to XSD Schema 1.1 features, Over time, I have tried using Xerces 2.12.1, along with various JDK versions (7, 8, 13). Currently, I am using the validation capabilities of the jaxp.TypeInfoWriter program. Recently, I have begun to look at the XSD 1.1 assert/assertion features with a longer XML file. I have used two sample XML files: 1) The first has more than 200 elements, one following hard on the previous one. With this file, I find that there are particular line numbers that give trouble in the validation process, although the XML content of those lines appears to be legal and valid. Moving the complete XML code from one of the troublesome lines to another position, makes the same code in its new postion pass the validation but now another new error occurs with a new XML contruct, which now appears at the troublesome line number. 2) The same XML file as in (1) but with XML comment lines introduced at each of the troublesome line numbers so that no validation is now required at those lines. It should be noted, however, that the troublesome lines from case (1) still appear, immediately after each of the new comment lines. The validation now passes completely. I am currently assuming that this behaviour (i.e. the errors) is unexpected. I can provide a ZIP file with these test cases. (I did try to send the e-mail posting this incident to the mailing list, complete with the attachment, but it did not post. Can someone tell me whether attachments are supported on this mailing list)? The a ZIP file comprises a directory, testX, with following contents: java_xercesX.bat - the batch file to run the test cases test.xsd - the XSD 1.1 Schema file test1.xml - the first XML file, without the extra comment lines test2.xml - the second XML file, with the extra comment lines xml_diffs.out - the result of a comparison (with the "fc" program) of the content of the two XML files In order to be able to run these test cases, you would have to unzip the attached file, go to the testX directory and update the paths in the few few lines of the file java_xercesX.bat to suit your system. Then, to run one test case, you would use: java_xercesX jaxp.TypeInfoWriter test.xsd test1.xml for example, to validate test1.xml. (This batch file currently uses JDK8). Results of my validations of the two test files are provided in test1.out and test2.out, also in the testX directory. I look forward to getting some feedback on this possible bug. Please do not hesitate to ask questions or to point out anything foolish that I have been doing.
