Herbert Oppmann updated XERCESC-1981:
-------------------------------------
Description:
With the example below, the validation returns "identity constraint key for
element 'Profile' not found".
This is caused by the attribute TextId having the empty string as value, which
is used as keyref in Item/Name and as key in Language/Text. Other XML parsers
do not complain, and examining the W3C XML Schema specification I also did not
find any reason why an empty string should not be acceptable.
(I know of course, that it is not _wise_ to use an empty string as key/keyref.
This was done by mistake.)
The command line used is: DOMCount.exe -v=always -s -f -n Profile.xml
Example XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Profile xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns="http://www.example.com/Profile";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.example.com/Profile Profile.xsd">
<Item Id="2">
<Name TextId=""/>
</Item>
<Item Id="1">
<Name TextId="NAME1"/>
</Item>
<Language>
<Text TextId="NAME1" Value="Some name"/>
<Text TextId="" Value="Empty!"/>
</Language>
</Profile>
