------------------------------
> QName.valueOf behaviour does not match the Javadoc
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: WODEN-125
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WODEN-125
> Project: Woden
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Parser
> Reporter: John Kaputin
>
> The javax.xml.namespace.QName class in Woden implements the static
> valueOf(String) method and the method's javadoc conforms to other QName
> implementation in J2EE 1.4 and Java 5.0. However, the method's implementation
> contain more constraints on structure and validation than are implied by the
> javadoc. It tries to avoid 'garbage in' (e.g. multiple left curly braces)
> by treating this as an error, but according to the Javadoc no such validation
> is required and the only criteria is that the String argument must not be
> null and must be in the same format as that produced by the toString()
> method. That is, 'garbage in' should just be accepted and used to create a
> QName - typically this means a 'garbage' string will form the localpart and
> the namespace will be the empty string. This is acceptable, because per the
> javadoc no validation is done on the namespace or the localpart.
> As an aside, the Woden test suite checks for this current behaviour in the
> valueOf method. However, when the test suite runs in a Java 5 JRE it is the
> Java 5 implementation of QName loaded by the classloader, not Woden's, and
> the test cases fail because that implementation is more lax. The
> AllWodenTests junit harness has a conditional statement to check the java
> version, but this is not really adequate as the QNameTests junit class can be
> invoked independently of AllWodenTests (e.g. by Maven2).
> So, the valueOf method must be 'dumbed down' to conform to the javadoc and
> the corresponding tests removed. A new test is needed to check the String
> passed to the valueOf method to create the QName object is equal to the
> result of the object's toString() method.
