SAX Parser fails to detect schema violation for empty integer attribute

[shyamsundar.purkayastha]

Hi



We are using xerces 2.8 and we make heavy use of the SAXtoXMLReader for
doing schema validation.



Recently we discovered that the parser does not detect schema violation
for empty XML tags for integer values.



For, example if there is a xml attribute named ABC which is defined as
integer or numeric type in the schema and we pass it as <ABC><./ABC> in
the xml document then the parser does not report any error for this.  Is
this a known issue ??



I have used to following code to initialize the parser







SAX2XMLReader* m_pParser;



try

      {

        XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();

        m_pParser=XMLReaderFactory::createXMLReader();

        //Setting the various parsing options

        m_pParser->setFeature(XMLUni::fgSAX2CoreNameSpaces, true);

        m_pParser->setFeature(XMLUni::fgSAX2CoreValidation, true);

        m_pParser->setFeature(XMLUni::fgXercesDynamic, true);

        m_pParser->setFeature(XMLUni::fgXercesSchema, true);


m_pParser->setFeature(XMLUni::fgXercesIdentityConstraintChecking,true);

        m_pParser->setFeature(XMLUni::fgXercesSchemaFullChecking, true);

        m_pParser->setFeature(XMLUni::fgSAX2CoreNameSpacePrefixes,true);

        m_pParser->setContentHandler(m_pInstance);

        m_pParser->setErrorHandler(m_pInstance);

      }

    catch(const SAXParseException& e)

      {

        char* message = XMLString::transcode(e.getMessage());

        cout << "SAX Exception: "  << message << endl;

        XMLString::release(&message);

      }
