Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 7 Submitted By: Bryan Thompson (thompsonbry) Assigned to: Maarten Coene (maartenc) Summary: elementByID does not use DTD-determined ID Initial Comment: The current elementByID implementation (dom4j-1.4) does not use information from the grammar to identify attributes of type "ID". Instead, based on an examination of the unit test, it appears that it looks up an element having an attribute named "ID". If you look at the test case document, you will see that it does not even include a DOCTYPE or XML Schema, so there is no way to identify which attributes are of type "ID". Therefore the method should fail to return an element for the current unit test. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Bryan Thompson (thompsonbry) Date: 2004-09-02 10:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=916039 Hello, I just downloaded dom4j-1.5-rc1 in order to test the elementByID() support. Unfortunately, this feature is still broken. Examination of the testing harness and the XML test document reveals that the tests do NOT test correctly for this feature. ID-ness is conveyed by a DTD that identifies an attribute as having type "ID". The XML test document and the test harness are assuming that the name of the ID-type attribute is "ID". This test should be corrected so that elementByID() will correctly show up as a broken feature in the dom4j test suite. Thanks, -bryan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bryan Thompson (thompsonbry) Date: 2004-02-19 06:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=916039 The attached code provided a workaround for our application (an XPointer Framework implementation). Note that this code MUST provide caching for the AttributeDecls in order to have any decent response time for multiple queries. Also, if the Document is not read-only, then you have to worry about updates made to the DocType through the dom4j interface. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=116035&aid=898545&group_id=16035 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
