Michael Glavassevich resolved XERCESJ-1163:
-------------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
There is a warning in the Javadoc for DOMSource [1] which says: "Note that XSLT
requires namespace support. Attempting to transform a DOM that was not
constructed with a namespace-aware parser may result in errors. Parsers can be
made namespace aware by calling
DocumentBuilderFactory.setNamespaceAware(boolean awareness)." The same applies
to XML schema validation which also requires namespace support. Schema
validation is only defined for XML documents which have an infoset [2][3].
This implies both well-formedness and namespace conformance, the second of
which is not checked by a non-namespace-aware parser.
Each of the element/attribute nodes in a DOM built from a non-namespace-aware
parser will have a null [4] local name. Note that [local name] is a required
[2] property for both element and attribute information items. Validation of an
input which is missing required infoset properties is undefined. This only
"works" with Java 5.0 because it is attempting to fix-up the input, quite
likely trying to make sense of documents which are not conformant [5] to the
namespaces specification. I don't think this is something Xerces should be
doing. You wouldn't want a compiler to try fixing syntax errors in source code
by guessing what you meant. What happens when it's wrong? In order for the
validator to behave predictably, you must provide it with an input constructed
by a namespace-aware parser (i.e. factory.setNamespaceAware(true)).
