http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18153 DTD validation errors leave XML file locked Summary: DTD validation errors leave XML file locked Product: Xerces2-J Version: 2.3.0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: SAX AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If an error occurs with when validating a DTD, parsing stops, but the XML file that was being read remains open and locked, so it cannot be edited or moved. To reproduce this, open the XML file with a text editor, and point the DTD to a file you know does not exist. When I do this, my error handler correctly reports the missing DTD, but the file remains locked until the VM exits. In my case, the VM is a web server, so I cannot fix or move the file until the web server restarts. I tried to fix the problem by re-throwing the exception in the error handler, but this had no effect. A possible work-around for this would be to launch the parsing in a separate VM, but that sounds messy and unnecessary. It would be better to close the file in a finally block or something. This happened in older versions of Xerces too. See bug #8053 for Xerces-J: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8053 This probably happens on other platforms besides Win2K, but I can't test them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
