HiThanks for your latest email.Is it the case that none of the XML files in your latest test-cases has as many as 40 lines of XML constructs? (The significance of the number 40 for me is that it was the first line at which I observed the erratic behaviour that I reported. I suspect that, if I had truncated my XML files to have fewer than 40 lines, I would not have observed any problems. Or have I missed the point that you were making?)Best regards,John.Sent from my Samsung device

Below are mentioned my XSD and XML input documents,XSD document,<?xml version="1.0"?><xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified"> <xs:element name="X"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="fileName" type="FileName" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:complexType name="FileName"> <xs:simpleContent> <xs:extension base="xs:string"> <xs:attribute name="att1" type="xs:string"/> <xs:assert test="if (./text()[matches(., 'a[0-9]')]) then @att1 else true()"/> </xs:extension> </xs:simpleContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:schema>XML input document (which is found as valid with above mentioned schema document),<?xml version="1.0"?><X> <fileName>a</fileName> <fileName>b</fileName> <!-- comment ... --> <fileName att1="az">a0</fileName> <!-- comment ... --> <fileName>c</fileName> <fileName att1="az">a5</fileName></X>When I remove comments from above mentioned XML input document, I still see the XML input document as valid.The following XML input documents are found as invalid,<?xml version="1.0"?><X> <fileName>a</fileName> <fileName>b</fileName> <!-- comment ... --> <fileName>a0</fileName> <!-- comment ... --> <fileName>c</fileName> <fileName att1="az">a5</fileName></X><?xml version="1.0"?><X> <fileName>a</fileName> <fileName>b</fileName> <!-- comment ... --> <fileName>a0</fileName> <!-- comment ... --> <fileName>c</fileName> <fileName>a5</fileName></X>Therefore, fundamentally I don't see a bug with Xerces-J with the kind of XSD and XML input documents discussed within this thread & the Jira issue (those that are provided by John). -- Regards,Mukul Gandhi
