Dmitri Colebatch commented on XMLBEANS-267:
-------------------------------------------
Thanks Cezar - while you're in there, I might add another comment. I was after
a method to extract the attributes from a cursor and have this:
private static Map extractAttributes(XmlCursor cursor)
{
Bookmark bookmark = new Bookmark();
cursor.setBookmark(bookmark);
if (cursor.isStartdoc())
cursor.toNextToken();
Map attributes = new HashMap();
if (cursor.toFirstAttribute())
{
do
attributes.put(cursor.getName(),
cursor.getTextValue());
while (cursor.toNextAttribute());
}
cursor.toBookmark(bookmark);
return attributes;
}
The part I found curious was that I had to call toFirstAttribute before calling
toNextAttribute, which I can understand, but it doesn't really provide for what
I would imagine would be the typical usage pattern. It might be worth adding a
comment on this in the javadoc as well.
> toFirstAttribute/toNextAttribute doesn't work

> Key: XMLBEANS-267
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-267
> Project: XMLBeans
> Type: Bug
> Components: XmlObject
> Versions: Version 2.1
> Environment: Windows XP, Intel, Sun JRE 1.5.0_04
> Reporter: Dmitri Colebatch
>
> Either I'm misinterpreting the expected usage of toNextAttribute, or it
> simply doesn't work. Here's my test code:
> public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
> {
> XmlObject xml = XmlObject.Factory.parse(new StringReader("<foo
> a=\"x\"><bar>test</bar></foo>"));
> XmlCursor cursor = xml.newCursor();
> boolean found = cursor.toFirstAttribute();
> System.out.println("found attribute: " + found);
> }
> And it outputs:
> found attribute: false
> I'm assuming this is a bug as the javadoc implies this should work.
