Uwe Schindler commented on XALANJ-2419:
---------------------------------------

Thanks for the fix, I will test it in a moment.

About a release: I am Apache member and committer, so I might start a thread to 
push a release. As these bugs are horrible and make almost any XML handling of 
stuff like Emojis broken, we should maybe do a bugfix releaser for 
serializer.jar release. Keep in mind, this would also require to make a Xerces 
release, as Xerces and Xalan share serializer.jar (I think they depend on each 
other on Maven central).

I would try to manage to do help with a relaese. This fix is indeed simple. 
Somebody should just commit it (I could theoretically do it, but that should be 
done by non-project members only as last resort), and press somebody else would 
press the button for release.

> org.apache.xml.serializer.ToStream contains the following code:
>                     else if (m_encodingInfo.isInEncoding(ch)) {
>                         // If the character is in the encoding, and
>                         // not in the normal ASCII range, we also
>                         // just leave it get added on to the clean characters
>                         
>                     }
>                     else {
>                         // This is a fallback plan, we should never get here
>                         // but if the character wasn't previously handled
>                         // (i.e. isn't in the encoding, etc.) then what
>                         // should we do?  We choose to write out an entity
>                         writeOutCleanChars(chars, i, lastDirtyCharProcessed);
>                         writer.write("&#");
>                         writer.write(Integer.toString(ch));
>                         writer.write(';');
>                         lastDirtyCharProcessed = i;
>                     }
> This leads to the wrong (latter) if branch running for surrogates, because 
> isInEncoding() for UTF-8 returns false for surrogates. It is always wrong 
> (regardless of encoding) to escape a surrogate as an NCR.
> The practical effect of this bug is that any document with astral characters 
> in it ends up in an ill-formed serialization and does not parse back using an 
> XML parser.
